Operation Tomodachi

Exhibition
In Person
Hatos Bar / Gallery
目黒区中目黒1-3-5 プリンスコーポ106 Japan

Date: April 17, 2011



Working with Philanthro Productions and VIVA LA ART!, we will be hosting a fundraiser silent auction/show to aid relief efforts in Touhoku Japan. Artist friends from all over the world will be donating works for this charity event, including the United States, England, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Australia, China, Brazil, Korea and Japan. Together, as a global friendship, we aim to encourage regrowth and recovery in Japan, as well as cultivate a growing sense of community and hope. 

"Operation Tomodachi" is the official name of relief efforts in Japan by the US military. The name "Operation Tomodachi" perfectly represents the idea of having friends from all over the world, coming together, to collaborate for a common humanitarian effort. Using the same name and spirit, but with art, we hope to bring aid and awareness to those who have been affected by the tsunami and earthquakes.
