Henry Street Settlement’s largest fundraiser, The Art Show, is unexpectedly cancelled for 2025.

For 36 years, The Art Show had been the Settlement’s largest source of individual fundraising revenue—allowing us to fill in critical gaps in funding and to respond with agility, urgency, and compassion to emergent needs in our community.

This news couldn’t come at a more challenging moment when Henry Street is facing extraordinary volatility in the funding landscape and increasing mental health and affordability struggles for low-income members of our Lower East Side community. Our neighbors are relying on us more than ever and we need your support today.

Please support THE OPEN DOORS INITIATIVE, our virtual fundraiser to replace these vital funds and provide hope and opportunity for our community. By giving as generously as you can, you can help Henry Street, right when it matters most.
