The works will also be exhibited at the Jingdonglu Subway Station in Shanghai on Friday, according to Tencent.

According to a statement released by Tencent, the project was initiated by World of Art Brut Culture- a Shanghai-based private nonprofit charity- on Tencent's charity platform. Money raised will be accepted by Aiyou Future Foundation, a Shenzhen-based organization with public offering credentials.

Money will not be funneled through Tencent's charity platform but will be accepted directly by the foundation. Donors can track their donations on WeChat, the statement said.
