# Beau Soleil: Emergency Support for Lebanese Artists

Dear Friends,

We are Beau Soleil, a London-based nomadic arts collective dedicated to supporting artists affected by humanitarian crises. Today, we reach out with urgency regarding the critical situation facing artists in Lebanon.

## Our Recent Impact

Through our recent Art Auction Fundraiser—organized in partnership with Bad Art as part of Artists Against Genocide—we successfully raised £4,418 for the Lebanese Red Cross. These funds directly support emergency medical aid and healthcare services for those displaced by escalating violence in Southern Lebanon.

## Current Initiative

We are now launching a targeted campaign to provide:

- Emergency shelter for displaced artists

- Artist residency placements

- Immigration support services

- Project logistics funding (travel, accommodation, insurance)

- Legal assistance

- Professional development and profile building

## Upcoming Benefit Release

In April 2025, we're proud to announce BS001, a benefit LP compilation celebrating contemporary Levantine music. This project features renowned artists including Beatrice Dillon, Nathan Fake, and 3PHAZ, alongside emerging talents from the Middle East. Through music, we aim to unite communities and amplify awareness of the current crisis.

## Your Impact

Every contribution, regardless of size, directly supports artists facing displacement and uncertainty. 100% of donations fund essential services and support, helping creative voices survive and rebuild. By supporting this initiative, you're not just providing immediate relief—you're helping preserve and protect cultural expression in times of crisis.

Please consider donating and sharing our campaign within your networks. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of affected artists and their families.

With gratitude,

Beau Soleil Collective
