Art for Palestine · June 1 – December 31, 2026
Palestine Lives!
A campaign for art, solidarity, and direct support to Palestinian artists, poets, and communities — running June 1 through December 31, 2026.
Why we're fundraising
Art as resistance.
Creation as connection.
Since October 2023, the entire world has been witnessing the well-documented ethnical cleansing of Palestine; inhabited homes bombed, entire neighborhoods erased, and ancestral cultural spaces reduced to rubble.
Despite the constant suffering and destruction for over 78+years, Palestinians continue to nurture their traditions and keep their art—rooted in the land, community, and love—alive. A testament to the connection between creating and resisting.
Palestine Lives! exists to amplify Palestinian voices, 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, social justice, and political outrage.
Every donation, every purchase, and every visit is a concrete gesture of support—for the artists and their families in Gaza, as well as for the community-led actions and grassroots initiatives facilitated through Art for Palestine.
