This Saturday, October 3rd from 11AM to 7PM Jonathan Ferrara Gallery and Arts District New Orleans will be kicking off this month of art appreciation and community engagement with "Art BEYOND Arts’ Sake." 

From the gallery: "As part of Art Beyond Arts’ Sakes’ mission to highlight the power of art to transcend, Jonathan Ferrara Gallery will be donating a portion of its October proceeds to HOUSE OF TULIP, a nonprofit collective creating housing solutions for trans and gender non-conforming people in Louisiana.⁠ According to the US Trans Survey, 1 in 3 trans people in Louisiana reports experiencing homelessness at some point in their lives. House of Tulip provides zero-barrier housing to trans and gender-nonconforming people in need of a safe place to stay while growing the supply of affordable housing in New Orleans.⁠"

House of Tulip is an amazing organization that needs our support. If you're in the market for new artwork, I urge you to consider making your purchase during the month of October to not only support living artists, but members of the community in need!
