About this Event
This December, art meets purpose. Artists Unite for Parkinson’s brings together artists from the United States, Argentina, Africa and Mexico to inspire hope and support crucial Parkinson’s Disease research. Discover art from around the world and fuel the path to a cure!
Enjoy a curated exhibit featuring talented emerging and established artists, plus great food and drinks from local vendors and live music all night. Art will be available to buy, bid on, or win in a raffle—plenty of ways to support the cause and take home something special. All net proceeds will benefit Team Fox, the fundraising arm of The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Whether you’re an art lover, a supporter of Parkinson’s research, or simply looking to be part of the community, Artists Unite invites you to join our celebration of Hope & Resilience for the millions living with Parkinson’s.
