On September 21-25, Students for a Free Tibet will host Art for Tibet II in New York City.

To highlight the resilience of Tibetan culture in the face of China's colonial oppression, more than 100 artists from around the world will be exhibiting works at the event. Since 1959, Tibetans have courageously fought for their rights while building a grassroots movement that today spans the globe. Art for Tibet honors that amazing achievement while raising much needed funds to continue the struggle for human rights and freedom in Tibet.

What: Art for Tibet II - Silent Auction and Exhibition
Where: 353 Broadway, New York, NY 10013 (Tribeca)
Closing Auction + Live Paintings: Saturday, Sep 25th (5pm - 10pm)
Opening Night Panel Discussion: Sep 21st (5pm)
Online Auction starts Sept 10 at www.ArtforTibet.com

The diverse group of artists participating in the show includes contemporary artists from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, San Francisco, Kathmandu, London, and Germany, as well as some of the best-known contemporary Tibetan artists at work today.

Many of the artwork exhibited will be sold at $100, making this show a great opportunity for activists and art aficionados alike to purchase original art while supporting the Tibetan freedom movement. The rest of the works will be sold in a silent auction, with bids starting at $250. All proceeds from the benefit will go to support Students for a Free Tibet's work for Tibetan freedom.
