SUMMARY:Open call for art submissions!
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Sylvia Rivera Law Project needs your support! Keep SRL
 P's free legal services and movement building work going by donating artw
 ork to our 10th year anniversary annual art benefit\, Small Works for Big
  Change. All proceeds from our art sales go directly towards supporting ou
 r community organizing work as well as our provision of free legal servi
 ces to trans\, gender non-conforming and intersex low-income people and pe
 ople of color. The event is free to the public and will include a silent 
 bidding process.\n\nThis year\, there will be a featured section of our ev
 ent fully dedicated to artwork related to prisoners’ justice\, so we hig
 hly encourage those who are or have been impacted by the carceral system o
 r those who created art that touches on relevant themes to donate art. T
 he range of artworks we are accepting is not exclusive to works that rela
 te to prisoners’ justice\, so we encourage all artists to donate\, espec
 ially artists who identify as trans\, queer\, people of color\, immigrants
  and other marginalized identities.\n\nHow to submit art for our curating
  process:\n\nDue to space limitations\, there will be a curating process 
 this year. Please submit a digital photo of your art along with a title\, 
 medium\, and description of the art and description of the artist to small
 works@srlp.org. If you do not have email capacity\, please mail a photo of
  your art with the same information above and your contact information to 
 the Sylvia Rivera Law Project at 147 West 24th street\, 5th Floor\, New Yo
 rk\, NY 10011\, addressed to the attention of the Small Works for Big Chan
 ge Committee. We will inform you whether your artwork is accepted soon aft
 er our curating process and will let you know of the next steps. If you 
 are currently incarcerated\, you may mail your art directly to us without 
 going through the curating process. Due to our limited funds\, artists are
  responsible for shipping costs except for those who are currently incar
 cerated.\n\nRequirements:\n\nThe artwork must be something that could be 
 framed and hung on a wall. Because we do not have the capacity to provide 
 shipping services\, the artwork must remain small in scale – it must be 
 something that buyers could easily carry and transport by car or by train
 .  For more questions about requirements\, please contact Ethan at ethan 
 [at] srlp.org\n\nAbout SRLP: \nThe Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) works
  to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender iden

 rassment\, discrimination\, or violence. SRLP is a collective organization

 ly intertwined with racial\, social and economic justice. Therefore\, we s
 eek to increase the political voice and visibility of low-income people an

 g. SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social\, healt
 h\, and legal services for our communities. We believe that in order to cr
 eate meaningful political participation and leadership\, we must have acce
