TIBET Exhibition and Photographic Print Sale to Benefit The Tibet Fund

Opens September 16th

On Saturday, September 16th, the “Tibet” photography exhibition of Tibetan culture, a fund raiser for the Tibet Fund, opens at The Photographic Gallery in downtown Manhattan. The opening night party, from 5:00 to 8:00, features a performance by Tibetan Folk singer Tenzin Kunsel and a talk by Rinchen Dharlo, president of the Tibet Fund.

Acclaimed photographers Steve McCurry, Teru Kuwayama, Sonam Zoksang, Jesse Pesta and Jennifer Macfarlane are exhibiting images from Tibet, Nepal and India reflecting the cultural, religious and national identity of the Tibetan people from September 16th through September 26th.

In support of the Tibetan community, these photographers aim to raise awareness and money for The Tibet Fund, a 501 3© non-profit organization dedicated to helping Tibetans improve their lives and preserve their distinct cultural, religious and national identity. All profits go to The Tibet Fund. www.tibetfund.org

Side note: You may remember Jesse Pesta from the NYC Photobloggers Exhibit, New Work, New York. He is a fascinating photographer with equally fascianting black and white images. This show also includes the works of other very well respected photographer and is sure to be great!
