ArtAuction21: Transforming Art into Action; Reconnecting in Resilience

For twenty-one years, artists and advocates like you who are living and working at the intersection of art and social justice have been a pivotal source of support in keeping our grassroots nonprofit thriving. Funds raised at this event make possible the many victories we have obtained over the years.

By contributing, artists have aided in The Coalition’s mission to create permanent solutions to poverty and homelessness while protecting the civil rights of those forced to remain on the streets. This year, the Coalition’s organizing and advocacy work will focus on building political power within homeless encampments, decriminalizing homelessness, and fighting for housing subsidies through the city budget process.

We know artists are often underpaid, and their work undervalued. The Coalition wants to recognize the labor of working artists by offering a small 25% commission from the sale. For artists who have the capacity to support our work more fully, you can donate the sale of your piece in its entirety. This is also an excellent opportunity for artists to garner exposure for their work with over 300 attendees and a media campaign reaching thousands across the country.

We accept all 2D and 3D media as well as craftwork and art books. Please read the Artist Contract for more information on drop-off times and size limitations or you are welcome to complete the submission through this google form. All art must be ready to hang. The deadline to drop off your art is August 1st, 2021.

As an additional thank you, all art donors will receive free admission to ArtAuction21. Come join us for live music, exciting raffle prizes, and the work of over 150 artists. Donations are tax-deductible as permitted by law. The Coalition on Homelessness is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Your art can make a difference in the lives of San Francisco’s homeless community. Funds raised by the auction account for a substantial portion of our annual budget. We depend on the support of artists like you to make it possible!

 

Thank you for considering supporting the Coalition on Homelessness.
