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.”

— Rose Gallogly, The Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN)

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!
