Hello, Manufacturers Village! We are a group called Montclair Mutual Aid—we are an organization based in the Montclair area whose mission is to help our neighbors meet essential needs. We are currently organizing an online art auction to fund our work sharing resources with those who need them. The auction will be live online from March 19-28. We were wondering if any of the artists with studios at Manufacturer’s Village would be interested in donating artwork, and if this message could be forwarded to the artists in your network. Since our founding last March, Montclair Mutual Aid has organized distribution of groceries, clean water, appliances, toiletries and other essentials to people in Montclair, among other activities. You can learn more about our work on our website www.montclairmutualaid.org. Anyone interested in donating can reach us at aidmontclairmutual@gmail.com.
