Art For Abortion Access: Recap (August 2022)
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.
Art For All 3: Recap (May 2022)
We at Boston For All were glad to be back at Aeronaut Brewery for Art For All 3, a celebration of community and art in Somerville. At this unique art sale, you decide how much to pay for original art donated by generous local artists. We have so much local talent in the area’; the range and quality of the art donated this year was simply stunning.
What’s more, together we raised over $6,500 in one afternoon, 100% of which goes directly to La Colaborativa.
La Colaborativa is a trusted partner to Massachusetts’ Latinx immigrant community. Based in Chelsea, La Colaborativa supports youth and adult members through food, housing, jobs, English classes, citizenship pathways, and community organizing.

Art For All 2: Recap (November 2019)
The combination of art, beer, and immigration justice led to a truly incredible day at Aeronaut Brewery. So many friends joined us and our artist-partners to celebrate inclusion and raise money for The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN). With hundreds of original works donated by local artists, there was truly something for everyone.
The over $12,000 we raised at Art For All 2 went directly to help some of our most vulnerable neighbors in immigration prison. Within days of the event, BIJAN had posted bond for three people who were able to reunite with their families. It was truly a great day – one that was made possible through the empathy and effort of all involved.

“We’re so grateful for the support of Boston For All. Their fundraising work allowed us to offer immigration bond support for members of our community at a time when the money was very needed. We were able to use the funds raised at Art for All and Dining for a Difference to get several folks out of immigration jail and back home with their families within weeks of these fundraising events.”
Art For All: Recap (June 2019)
Art For All was a part of Boston For All Week (2019) and it was a huge success! Over the course of the week, we raised over $20,000 in support of three fantastic organizations:
-
The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN) – providing legal representation and advocacy to immigrants in Boston facing detention and deportation.
-
Redes en Acción Venezuela – a local organization helping Venezuelan refugees settling in the Boston area.
-
Komera – an international organization promoting personal empowerment and education for girls in Rwanda.
We were honored to work with City Councilor Matt O’Malley, State Representative Nika Elugardo, and community partners to host a week-long festival of inclusion and generosity on June 9-15, 2019.
Our friends at the Jamaica Plain Artists’ Association co-hosted the event, and local artists donated a wide array of paintings, works on paper (framed and unframed), collages, sculptures, and ceramics – with 100% of the proceeds going toward BIJAN’s incredible work to support our most vulnerable neighbors! Thank you so much to our generous sponsors of Boston For All Week, without whom we wouldn’t be able to do this work!
