ART FOR IMMIGRANT DEFENSE

Please join us for an evening of art, conversation, and community in support of immigrant legal defense.

Art for Immigrant Defense is a curated benefit auction bringing together artists, collectors, and advocates to support the immigrant rights work of the New York Civil Liberties Union Foundation (NYCLU) and the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation (ACLU). The evening will feature a special exhibition of works generously donated by participating artists, alongside conversations with artists and advocates from the immigrant defense community.

The online auction will be hosted on Artsy from June 9–23, 2026, with net proceeds supporting the NYCLU and ACLU’s work protecting the civil liberties and due process rights of immigrants.

Donna Lieberman, Executive Director of the NYCLU, will speak on the organization’s immigrant rights work and the role of artists and cultural communities in advancing social justice.

Hosted in collaboration with Artsy. Bites by Camille Becerra.
