Artists’ Fundraiser for Médicins Sans Frontières in aid of Palestine and Lebanon 


Posted 3 weeks ago in Arts & Culture Features

‘World events can supersede us so quickly. The terrible crises that are happening now demand us to stop and reflect on what we can do, to support the connections we have in common, to remind ourselves of our basic humanity, and to reflect on the vital role of empathy. Art can help us with this process and as artists we stand for peace, solidarity and equality.’

That’s the artist statement from seven leading Irish artists who are holding a special artworks raffle to raise funds to support those affected by the catastrophic war in Palestine and Lebanon.

Seven artworks have been donated by Clodagh Emoe, Brian Fay, Fergus Feehily, Jesse Jones, Atsushi Kaga, Aileen Murphy, and Kathy Tynan.

The work will be on display at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios until December 1st 2024.

The raffle continues online until midnight Wednesday 18 December 2024. The draw will take place  on Thursday December 19th and prizes will be allocated alphabetically as names are drawn.
