With the pandemic bringing on food insecurity for 40% of Americans for the first time, now with the holidays around the corner, what’s next?
‘Tis the season for the art fundraiser. Artists, curators and art galleries across the country are fusing forces to raise funds to fight food insecurity. From exhibitions to online auctions, raffles and print sales, art with heart is another way to help feed people, just in time for Christmas.
New York art gallery Fort Makers has created a benefit exhibition called Dreamscapes, which is helping support the Henry Street Settlement Food Access Initiative, by selling prints until 17 January.

Pink Marmalade Gin has teamed up with singer and songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor to create a limited-edition bottle. The collaboration came about after Ellis-Bextor spotted a life-size Ziggy Stardust horse used by the gin company’s events arm Pink Marmalade Events and contacted founder Isobel Harries wanting to buy it for her upcoming tour. As a thank you, Harries sent the pop star a bottle of her gin, and the rest is history!
Pink Marmalade’s colour-changing gin is packaged in special limited-edition 50cl bottles. The gin contains a blend of 13 botanicals and the gin distiller has also partnered with We Make Events to ensure a percentage of every bottle sold will go towards supporting the events industry after a particularly challenging year.
