Artists' Campaign for the Barnes

Artists are making art that either addresses the issues involved in the take over of the art of the Barnes Foundation or is donated to help with the legal defense fund

This is an issue that involves the whole arts community. Perhaps artists, working their magic to change perceptions as only art can, will save the Barnes. 

For  information about how to participate go to Call for Artists
