Red Robinson "signs on" to the Art for Africa project. Vancouver, Canada, September 29, 2005 - The African Conservation Foundation (ACF) is proud to announce its newest supporter, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame DJ Red Robinson. Robinson is a living legend in the entertainment world, famous for his interviews and shows with celebrities from Elvis and Ray Charles to the Beatles.

"The drive behind the partnership of the "Art for Africa" project and Red Robinson has been artist Daniel Taylor", said ACF Director Arend de Haas. "Daniel has known Red since the 1970's and they have both a long-standing interest in conservation and helping kids."  The goal of "Art for Africa" is to create a direct link between the public and wildlife conservation in Africa through Daniel Taylor's paintings.

In addition, Taylor has created a portrait of a little girl to raise funds for another program called Nature for Kids. This program is an educational effort to help school children in Africa learn about environmental and wildlife conservation in their communities.

"Red has been a dynamic force in his work to benefit many charitable organizations," said Taylor. "We approached Red to help with our limited edition series of prints signed by celebrities. He understood how his support would impact endangered wildlife and help educate children on an international level. He gave a resounding "YES" to be the first celebrity to sign on."

Taylor has created a unique series of wildlife paintings. The revenue from each painting will be used for the conservation of a specific endangered animal and for the Nature for Kids program. Robinson has signed two original prints of a gorilla and elephant. A painting of a leopard will be added to the Art for Africa series soon.
