2015 BENEFIT AT CHRISTIE’S TIBET HOUSE US Tibet House US is a non-profit 501(c)(3) that was founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who stated his wish for a long-term cultural institution to ensure the survival of the unique Tibetan civilization. In 1998, Tibet House US moved to a 7,000 square foot permanent home with an exhibition gallery on 15th Street, just west of Fifth Avenue in New York City. This cultural center is a museum, that includes a gallery, lending library, shop, and offices. At the heart of Tibet House US is the Lhakang Shrine Room, designed and created by Tibetan artists working with traditional methods and materials.
TIBET HOUSE US IS DEDICATED TO 1) Presenting to the West, Tibet’s ancient traditions of art and culture, by developing national and international traveling exhibitions, publications, and media productions. 2) Preserving and restoring Tibet’s unique cultural and spiritual heritage through developing an outstanding collection of Tibetan art. 3) Establishing an archive of rare photographs and a research library; and providing support to conservation activities inside outside of Tibet. 4) Sharing with the world Tibet’s profound systems of spiritual philosophy and mind sciences, as well as its arts of human development, intercultural dialogue, nonviolence, and peacemaking, by means of innovative programs in cooperation with like-minded educational cultural institutions.
THIS YEAR WE HAVE PLEDGED TO GIVE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS TO The proceeds from our auctions are a major source of support for Tibet House US’s diverse programs. In the spirit of the generosity that makes this event possible, we will give a portion of this year’s proceeds to the local Tibetan refugee community, The Tibetan Community of New York and New Jersey (TCNYNJ).
