Our thanks to Erika Tsang of Toronto who is organizing “Eyes On Tibet”, a fundraising event for Seva’s eye care programs in Tibet.
“Eyes on Tibet” is a silent auction event featuring the works of dozens of artists. Artists will be provided with a pair of generously donated eye-glasses and asked to create a piece which will be entirely up to their own creativity – they may be functional, sculptural or something totally unexpected. Each piece will then be auctioned of at the event with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Seva Canada’s Tibet Sight Program.
Where
The event will occur in the Toronto area in 2011 (exact date and location to be announced soon). We are looking to feature live entertainment by local musicians and performers, with Tibetan food and beverages provided by local restaurants.
