During the month of December we highlighted two mutual aid organizations on either side of the country to focus our fundraising efforts on organizations working to fight food insecurity and access. Every donation made on our website was matched by us, with the totals being split between Bushwick Ayuda Mutua and Homey SF. In total, we were able to donate $1,500 to each organization! Thank you to everyone who donated or showed support.

oin us for the finale! This Saturday, November 19th, is the final Pablo Painting Party of the year at [X]Space in San Francisco. If you haven't gotten the chance to be a part of the project, now is the time!

Hosted by guest artist @nile.gibbs, you can pull up and paint on a 80’ by 20’ canvas wall with spray paint, acrylic paint, and much more.

Food and beverages will also be available. No experience necessary, this painting session is inclusive of everyone at all ages!
