How You Can Support Victims of The Surfside Condo Collapse
With the recent tragedy surrounding the collapse of the Champlain Towers condominium in Miami, SHOWFIELDS is partnering up with the Knight Foundation to aid and uplift victims and families who endured such devastating circumstances.
This fundraiser supports around Miami-based artists who are doing their part by selling their works of art and raising a relief fund for the victims. The works range from very unique photographs, prints, and paintings. Half of the proceeds from each piece sold will go toward the Support Surfside hardship fund, which provides immediate support and helps secure basic relief, housing, and mental health services to those impacted. The prices range from $80 to $28,000, making it possible for art lovers and supporters everywhere to pitch in and most of the artists have decided to donate all the proceeds from each sale to the relief fund.
Miami has received an unwavering amount of love and support during this time and SHOWFIELDS is committed to continuing that wave of support with this partnership and using our platform of mission-based artists for mission-based work.
Proceeds from art sales will go to support families in need!
