Anne Turley, Mary McCusker, Mary Harman, Terry Boutelle and Phyllis Bluhm, of Roslindale, are among a group of local artists selling artwork for the holidays to benefit the Poor People’s Campaign to support social justice.
The sale is being put on by ARTGIRLZBOSTON, a collective of 11 woman artists who have collaborated on various projects and exhibit together. Some make explicitly political work, while others do not.
The group has raised over $2,000 in donations to the PPC. The artists donate their artwork, and buyers make direct donations to the PPC for the price of the artwork. The PPC organizes across the US to address poverty, inequality, voter participation, systemic racism, ecological devastation, war and militarism.
