ARTISTS BRIDGE THE GAP IV (ABTG IV)

Official Merchandise Design Contest

What We’re Doing:

Artists Bridge the Gap is the fourth installment of Red Room’s live art and music auction and event. This year, Red Room is partnering with All’s Well Theatre. The majority of proceeds from the event will go to two wonderful NGOs in Germany, Rosalinde e.V. Leipzig and Queer Refugee Network Leipzig (QueeRNL).

To help raise funds for these great organizations, we will be hosting a daylong event. Throughout the day, artists will create art to be auctioned at the end of the day. There will be performances by All’s Well Theatre as well as live music bands.

Who It’s Helping:

We’re partnering with Queer Refugees Network Leipzig (QueeRNL) and RosaLinde Leipzig e.V . to support LGBT refugees in Germany.

*Here’s specifically what QueeRNL and RosaLinde Leipzig e.v. are doing:

1. Emergency Packages : As LGBT refugees arrive they will need money to cover basic needs until they are registered with the government. We want to make sure they have that!

2. Integration Materials: Many refugees are left in camps with few ways to interact with local people. This money will be used to facilitate language training and to fund cultural outings for the refugees. Everyone deserves to feel welcome, like they are part of a community and like they are capable of contributing to the new community they’re a part of.

3. The Three C’s (Counseling, Company and Congress): QueeRNL is also committed to provided the three C’s: Counseling, Congress and Company. The organization provides a safe space for refugees to begin healing and to find a home in Germany. Through counseling they provide refugees with methods to begin healing from trauma. Through congress they intend to help create a network for refugees which can be used to lobby for interests and create visibility on a national level. Through company, they help refugees operate in
society by going with them to doctors, lawyers or any other institution to provide language mediation and ensure the network member feels comfortable.
