In light of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, we wanted to take action to support reproductive justice, so we put on our signature ‘pick your price’ art sale where original art donated by local artists was available, with 100% of the money going to The Brigid Alliance, a major funder of abortion care for anyone who needs it.
We held this event on Vee Vee’s beautiful back patio. It was a hot afternoon, but people came out in force and we raised $13,000 in about three hours’ time. One of our most successful events.
The Brigid Alliance is a referral-based service that provides people seeking abortions with travel, food, lodging, child care and other logistical support. For more information:

Major thanks to Ginny Zanger and Gail Bos of the JP Artists Association for marshaling an array of great artists to contribute to this urgent and important cause.
