Forms, Frames and Selves: Benefit Exhibition
Opening: Saturday, December 11, 3–6 PM.
Transmitter Fundraiser Program
Transmitter is pleased to present a unique set of works available on our website on an ongoing basis. All sales are divided equally between the artist and a social justice organization. The works will be exhibited at Transmitter from December 11 to December 19, 2021. Please join us for an opening reception on Saturday, December 11 from 3-6 PM.
This exhibit reflects two groups of artists and supports two organizations. From June through December 2021 the sale of artworks on Transmitter’s benefit page benefited the Envision Freedom Fund, formally the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund. Beginning with this exhibition, sales from the second group of artworks will benefit the American Indian Community House, NYC, and will be offered online from January-June, 2022.
These two organizations have clear commitments to the success, justice and joy of their community. We hope that you can join us in learning about their work and donating to their programming. 50% of your purchase is paid to the artist. 50% of your purchase is donated to one of these organizations.

"Going forward, we will continue to work alongside BIPOC, immigrant and LGBTQ communities, directly impacted individuals, and allies to:
End pretrial and immigrant detention
Hold prosecutors, judges and law enforcement agencies, including ICE, accountable for egregious policies
Meet the urgent, material needs of community members caged by the criminal legal system and immigration enforcement regime.
Use cutting-edge approaches to free as many people as possible."
American Indian Community House:
The American Indian Community House, was founded in 1969. Their work today continues to foster intercultural understanding.
"The AICH community is currently composed of Native Americans from 72 different tribes. Native American migration between urban centers and reservations demonstrates the inter-relatedness of all Native Americans, and from this reality emerges the recognition that our issues and concerns are truly shared."

Statement of Commitment
As a collective of artists and curators, Transmitter (both as a group and individually) is committed to racial and social justice in whatever capacity we can. We acknowledge the ancestral and living stewards of the Lenapehoking lands on which we organize, create, and live. We acknowledge our own ancestors and history of colonialism, slavery, and genocide. We stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities, with organizers and collective protests that fight for justice. We support the creation of a just ecosystem that dismantles white supremacy and imperialist violence. We pledge to follow in this ongoing and urgent fight.
