A Call for Help!
Better Burma is very excited to be working with several activists to sponsor a major art auction fundraiser. A live event will take place on December 11, and we have also been promised free gallery space in New York City where these works can be shown in person. We truly hope that this can be one of the biggest fundraisers to date, with all proceeds going to support urgent humanitarian missions in Myanmar. Every new buyer we bring to the auction, and every new art piece we can offer, will go towards saving yet more lives being impacted by the daily terror waging in Myanmar.
To pull this off, we need your help! Following are the needs we have to make this as successful as possible. Please contact us if you can help in any way…. no way is too small!
Graphic Designers: We want to make templates to be able to share far and wide across social media, informing people about the event. Templates can be created from scratch; we can also provide watermarked images of some of the art to be auctioned.
Artists: Please inform all artists in your community about this event! We are accepting submissions for artists of any background, and we have a broad definition of what is classified as “art”, from painting to music to poetry to dance. Please help us get the word out to artistic communities around the world!

Whether they are deeply connected to Myanmar or more generally concerned about democracy movements, whether they speak live or recorded, and as short as five minutes.
