Crafts for a Cause is a craft fair that supports social justice struggles.
It’s a fundraiser, and it happens in three ways:
- Community groups working for social justice sell art and crafts to support their organizing work,
- Table fees from individual artists are donated to these groups,
- Finally, the $2 entrance fee supports Rhizome Cafe, an amazing community-centered space in the city.
