Are you an artist or "creative" who is interested in leveraging your talents to support asylum seekers? CASAN is looking for creatives (artists, poets, writers, sculptors, musicians, photographers, etc.) to join us for our April fundraising event, Arts for Asylum Seekers.

Sign up via our website - casanvermont.org - or join our Informational Meeting on February 22, 2023 - 7-8 p.m. (details below).

Chittenden Asylum Seekers Assistance Network (CASAN) is a registered non-profit organization that assists people in Chittenden County and surrounding areas who are in the legal process of seeking asylum. Our mission, supported by local volunteers and by donors near and far, is to provide welcome and support as people strive to begin new lives in safety.

CASAN is recruiting artists and other Creatives who will produce and virtually share their creative work, preferably daily, throughout the month. "Creatives" can be loosely defined to include visual artists, sculptors, potters, poets, writers, musicians, photographers, gardeners, etc. A participant does not need to produce a final product each day, but could share steps in a longer-term project, such as progress in painting a portrait or another line written for a poem.

CASAN and the Creatives will reach out to recruit sponsors who will donate to CASAN in exchange for receiving content from the Creatives through email or another chosen avenue.

The signup deadline is March 8th. For more information and to sign up to participate, visit casanvermont.org
