Eyes On Tibet Charity Art Sale 2011
Benefiting Seva Canada and the Laser Eagles Art Guild

  Donate Now!
Our first art show on February 25th, 2011 was a great success, raising almost $2500! Pieces are still available for sale, with all proceeds benefitting Seva Canada and the Laser Eagles Art Guild.
Tibet has one of the highest incidences of blindness in the world, largely caused by cataracts, a condition easily reversed by a simple and low-cost surgery. Unfortunately, poverty, inaccesible terrain, and a spread out population mean that Tibetans suffering from blindness have trouble accessing the the limited eye care services available.

Seva Canada has been conducting cataract surgeries and blindness prevention programs with their mobile sight restoration camps since 1995. Eyes On Tibet was started to raise funds for Seva Canada's work through the sale of art pieces created exclusively for the cause.
 

Help give back the gift of sight.

Eyes On Tibet is accepting donations of work for the 2011 fundraising Art Sale.

 Submission deadline: Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

 The Eyes On Tibet Charity Art Sale will take place February 25th, 2011. Using a pair of eyeglasses as a common theme, artists are asked to create a piece entirely up to their own creativity – they may be functional, sculptural, or something totally unexpected.

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

 * Request an artist package and create one or more pieces to donate to the sale;

* Encourage other artists and creative celebrities to donate art work. 3D works are welcome!

 A pair of generously donated eyeglasses may be included upon request in the artist package for you to use as your creativity sees fit.

 Tax receipts! You may receive a tax receipt for each piece of your work that is sold. Please ask how.
