Our Fireweed Art Show has come down, but you can still find the digitized collection here. We’re incredibly grateful to all who submitted work for the Fireweed fundraiser.
It’s been a few years since we made any changes to the Bandidas menu, but this past fall we found ourselves playing around with a few new ingredients and combinations.
As many of you know, we held a fundraiser at Bandidas on January 20th, Inauguration Day. The fundraiser was sparked by the recent election of Donald Trump, and the clear message that emerged from that devastation: beliefs are insignificant if not paired with tangible, meaningful, and transformative actions. When we woke up on November 9th, we knew that as a society we had work to do.
Over 30 artists have submitted pieces that respond to the U.S. election results, for this show, which launched Inauguration Day. We've dubbed this art show "fireweed" as a commitment to focusing in renewal, regrowth, and rebuilding in the midst of despair.
