Art for Palestine · June 1 – August 31, 2026
Palestine Lives!
A campaign for art, solidarity, and direct support to Palestinian artists, poets, and communities — running June 1 through August 31, 2026.
Why we're fundraising
Art as resistance.
Culture as connection.
Since October 2023, as the world has watched Palestinian homes, neighborhoods, and cultural spaces reduced to rubble, Palestinians have continued to show us what connection truly means. Through poetry, art, music, memory, and storytelling, they continue to carry their culture forward—rooted in land, community, and love.
Palestinians are the cultural stewards of their stories, and it is an honor to share this work with the world. Palestine Lives! exists to support that work, resist erasure, and create space for Palestinian artists to be seen, heard, and supported.
Through a poetry anthology, a 3D virtual exhibit, a live fundraising event, and direct honoraria for Gaza-based contributors, we’re building a campaign rooted in artistic solidarity, connection, and community care.
Every donation, every book sold, and every visit to the exhibit is a direct act of support—for artists and their families in Gaza, and for the community-led work and initiatives facilitated through our organization.
