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).
