Art Work Donation Information:

Do you create art, or know someone who does? Our annual Transgender Day of Remembrance event is coming up and we are looking for art donations for the silent auction held during the event. We welcome pieces that connect to the transgender community whether it’s through the transgender colors, a story that inspired your work, art that helps ground you as a transgender person during challenging times, or another way!

All mediums are welcome: drawings, digital art, meditation beads, short stories, self-portraits, or anything else you create! If possible, we ask that a small index card-sized description accompany the piece, explaining what it is and what inspired it.

If you have an art piece for us, email us if you would like us to pick it up/drop it off to one of our volunteers (NLT November 10th) or you can bring it to the event.

All proceeds from the auction will be donated to a nonprofit or program that directly supports the transgender community.
