East bay artists raise money for Just Cause / Justa Causa
Join bay area artists Saturday, Dec. 3rd for Displacement, a group art exhibit benefiting displacement services. California artists along with Chulita Vinyl Club (an all female DJ group) will be donating their time and skill to make this a memorable event for everyone! Let those who have been affected by displacement know they are not alone and there is hope. Proceeds will be donated to Oakland’s local displacement help organization Justa Causa Just Cause. 3 Dot will also be providing art for a “Just Cause” so be sure to stop by our neighbors!
Why We Care. Why you should...
Artists have always been used as a stepping stone in converting low income neighborhoods into hip and happening places where money can be invested. Only then does the City care enough to start cleaning it up so folks with money can begin to move into remodeled residential buildings after old residents get evicted.
This show is an opportunity for all artists to do what we do best, express our feelings and emotions about this growing virus that is affecting so many low income neighborhoods, and allow them to showcase conscious work that speaks against Displacement atrocities rather than disguising it.
Artists
Art is being donated from a variety of California artists tackling Displacement and its atrocities.
