Last time, our community showed up with open hearts, loud values, and incredible art and together we raised $1,500 for immigrant support organizations. (!!!) This June, we’re doing it again.
Art Melts ICE II is about investing in our neighbors, celebrating local creativity, and refusing to let fear outrank compassion. We want to see the bookshop filled with artwork from local makers, community connection, and opportunities to learn more about organizations doing the real work of advocacy, support, and care for immigrant communities.
It's a sale - we definitely want you to find a piece of art you love - but this isn’t just a sale. It’s a reminder that art has always been part of resistance. Posters, paintings, prints, fiber art, stickers, ceramics, every piece tells a story about who shows up, where we need to show up, and how we choose to show up for one another. At this event we choose to show up by donating 100% of SALES (not proceeds) to Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates and Lakeshore Rapid Response, both organizations who are actively working to support communities threatened by ICE.
Come browse, buy art from local creators, meet community organizations, and spend your money like you believe people deserve to live with dignity. Bring friends.
If you are an artist with product to donate, send us an email to schedule your art dropoff!
