This year Art for Tibet are thrilled to announce that legendary NYC hip-hop artist & Beastie Boys collaborator Cey Adams and French-Tibetan painter Marie-Dolma Chophel have joined this year’s Honorary Committee alongside returning members Shepard Fairey and Columbia Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies, Robert Thurman.

For the first time, an exhibition will run in tandem with the auction at the prestigious Gallery 8 in Harlem, giving a chance for extraordinary Tibetan artists to be showcased alongside leading contemporary artists for an extended period of time. An online auction will also run from October 25 – November 7 2019. The live auction will take place on Thursday November 7 and will be accompanied by a drinks reception and a performance from Tibetan musician and composer Tenzin Choegyal.

American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, and illustrator Shepard Fairey says: “I've been a longtime supporter of Students for a Free Tibet because of the work they do to help the Tibetan people gain political independence and freedom. I believe in the power of nonviolent, grassroots movements to create change, and I will continue to advocate for the human rights of Tibetans through my voice and through my art. Free Tibet!"
