#TexasArtistsStrong: Pop-up Exhibition and Fundraiser

#TexasArtistsStrong: Pop-up Exhibition and Fundraiser

 

In response to the growing number of Texas artists impacted by Hurricane Harvey’s devastation, Fresh Arts, in collaboration with Spring Street Studios and the local artist community, launches a disaster relief exhibition, #TexasArtistsStrong: Pop-up Exhibition and Fundraiser by Texas Artists for Texas Artists, as well as a digital platform to raise funding for immediate relief for these artists.

The exhibit will take place for one day only at Spring Street Studios on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2-7 p.m. and will feature works by Houston artists available for purchase. Each artist will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their art at the event to support artists throughout Texas affected by Harvey. Additional donations will also be accepted at the event.

The funds raised will be distributed to artists to help them preserve work, rebuild studios and live/work spaces, purchase supplies and continue their creative missions in the wake of the destructive storm.

Included in this event will be an artist talk taking place at 3 p.m. in the center corridor of the exhibit.

For those unable to attend the exhibition and fundraising event, Fresh Arts will be using its digital fundraising platform to allow those interested in supporting Texas artists to donate directly to the Immediate Relief Fund online. Similar events are also planned across Texas and donations raised from those efforts will also go into the fund. Through this fund, affected artists will be able to apply for funding and a review panel will decide how the funding will be distributed. 100% of funds raised will go directly in the hands of the impacted artists.
