Vines Art Festival is organizing their first official Fundraiser for the Artist Survival and Healing Fund. For more information about the Fund, please click here.
Artists are often under-resourced, subject to debilitating systemic barriers, and are in dire need of space and time for healing from the trauma inherent in navigating all of the above and more.
Having access to this fund can help artists whose tenuous financial stability makes it hard to bounce back from the emergencies that come up in life.
The fundraiser, held on 18 May 2022 at 6:30 pm will include a delicious meal from Tamam: Fine Palestinian Food and will showcase some of the most enchanting performances from drag artists, poets and musicians alike. There will also be a silent auction throughout the evening, generously donated by local artists, businesses and community members.
Performers will include Chelsea D.E. Johnson, Maiden China, King Fisher, Toddy, erica hiroko isomura, DJ Kota, Oliver Barnes.
You can get tickets here.
