Artsy celebrates Pride Month with Artists for Pride Impact Auction
Artsy celebrates Pride Month with its new Artists for Pride Impact Auction to benefit the Ali Forney Center (AFC). From 22 June to 29 June, the leading online art marketplace will be teaming up with an array of artists to raise funds for the AFC – the US’ largest LGBTQIA+ homeless youth scatter housing site and services organisation.
Proceeds from the auction will go directly to the lifesaving care provided at the organisation’s new and expanded 24-hour midtown New York drop-in center – which offers health and education services, counselling and emergency housing.
The artists featured in the benefit auction include Didier William, Jordan Nassar, Jo Messer, the Haas Brothers, Tim Davy, Kyle Meyer, Kate Pincus-Whitney, Erin M Riley, Emma Kohlmann, Elizabeth Glaessner, Caitlin Chery, Vickie Vainionpää, Leilah Babiyre and Darryl Westly.
In regards to the auction, some of the pieces that will be available for purchase include wool tapestries, woven cotton and wax print fabrics, sculptures, oil paintings, ink washes, watercolors and more.
