DEAR GAZA is an inspiring artist showcase and fundraiser that houses a grassroots community which fosters international humanitarian issues through local initiatives. An event that hosts spoken word poetry, dance, interactive art making, food, live music, and more from conscious artists in solidarity with the Gaza strip. This event, now in its
fourth year, continues to provide a powerful platform for artistic expression
and conversation. Since its inception, Dear Gaza has raised ninety
thousand dollars which was matched to five million dollars worth of medical aid
for families in the Gaza Strip with the help of our NGO partner Anera’s
(Americans Near East Refugee Aid) In-Kind Medical Donations Program.
