The Little Lotus Project | A Gallery from Asian Report | RNZ National

What Do You Dream? exhibition

The Little Lotus Project, inspired by the art of the Burmese children themselves, sees prominent New Zealand artists and musicians donating their art, music and time to raise funds to sustainably educate, feed and help the refugee children of Burma to play.

The exhibition took place at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery in Wellington, in October 2012. Artwork was auctioned off via Trade Me, raising over $40,000.
