  • 8th Annual Gala: A Foundation for our Future

    The Whittemore House 1526 New Hampshire Ave NW, Washington, DC, United States

    This year’s gala marks a powerful milestone, seven years of growth as a permanent Palestinian landmark in the heart of our nation’s capital. Together, we’ve resisted erasure by preserving and sharing the arts, cultural heritage, and history of the Palestinian people. Now, we invite you to help us lay down our roots. This is our home. Partner with us to build its foundation for the future. Each year, our community comes together to celebrate the richness of Palestinian identity through music, food, stories, and art. This year, we gather with a renewed sense of urgency and purpose. As heartbreaking events continue to unfold in Palestine—and as Palestinian narratives face silencing and distortion in mainstream media—our voices, spaces, and presence matter more than ever. Join us for a night of solidarity, storytelling, and hope as we raise funds to secure and expand the Museum of the Palestinian People, ensuring it remains a lasting home for generations to come.
