The Sylvia Rivera Law Project is thrilled to celebrate our annual art benefit, Small Works for Big Change!
About Small Works for Big Change
Small Works for Big Change is an art benefit for the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. Small Works provides an important space for trans and gender non-conforming artists, especially trans and gender-nonconforming low-income artists and artists of color, to showcase their work and increase their voice and visibility.
The event is free and open to the public. Bidding ends at 5:30 pm sharp. Registration is available at the door but we recommend pre-registration for a speedy check-in process. Cash and credit card only.
Due to space constraints, art payment and pickup will be available from 9-11 pm the night of the event. For convenience and ease of checkout, art pickup is also available the next day, Sunday, October 22nd, from 3 to 6 pm.
Pre-registration is closed. Please register at the door. Thank you!

More Information
Small Works for Big Change is a chance to get to know SRLP, our work, our history, and our growing community. We’re excited that this year, Small Works will feature art and history from SRLP’s work in NYC.
You can support SRLP at Small Works for Big Change by bidding on artworks (with bids starting as low as $10); buying affordable fixed-price artwork, jewelry, and SRLP merchandise in our Small Works Pop-Up Shop; and registering for the event with a one-time or recurring donation. 100% of the proceeds from the event go directly toward supporting SRLP’s work.
We take cash and credit cards!
Since 2005, over 60 host committee members and more than 250 radical, transgressive, and cutting-edge artists have donated over 300 visionary works of art and countless hours of hard work to make this event a success for SRLP and our communities.
