Art be a Part, the platform dedicated to empowering causes and fostering active leadership in art and charitable initiatives, in collaboration with renowned French-Tunisian artist eL Seed and the Special Needs Future Development Center (SNF) and supported by Taj Dubai, has unveiled a visionary charitable project that combines creativity, empowerment, and inclusion.

Through funds raised by Art be a Part, a new school bus was donated to SNF to support the daily transportation needs of children of determination. But the project goes beyond practical function; the vehicle has been turned into a symbol of hope, unity, and artistic expression, thanks to the vision of eL Seed, whose work has inspired communities worldwide with messages of peace and cultural connection.

He recently joined SNF students for an extraordinary day of creativity, painting the bus together and transforming it into a moving artwork that narrates a story of inclusion, empowerment, and the boundless possibilities of artistic collaboration. The school bus will now serve not just as a means of transport but as a travelling canvas, spreading joy and inspiration wherever it goes. The project began in mid-August, when the new bus was delivered to SNF and customised internally to ensure full accessibility for students. The October painting session marked the heart of the initiative: a vibrant, one-of-a-kind experience that brought together eL Seed’s signature artistry and the students’ own creative imagination and voices.

“This project is everything Art be a Part stands for - art that transforms lives,” said Medha Nanda, Founder, Art be a Part. “Seeing the children collaborate with eL Seed, expressing themselves freely, and knowing the bus will carry not just students but also their stories and spirit - that is the power of art in action.”
