PLEASE SUBMIT TO
*HAVEN*: an art auction to benefit the Native Women's Shelter
...............................................

For our 3rd annual art auction, the *Ste-Emilie Skillshare* would like to
recognize the front-line work of the *Native Women's Shelter*. Every hour of
every day, they support women and families that must constantly deal with
the ramifications of an on-going colonization. Until recently, the Shelter
offered cultural healing through the Aboriginal Healing Foundation. The 2010
federal budget, however, cancelled the funding to the Aboriginal Healing
Foundation, closing this project and over one-hundred others from coast to
coast.

In the past, our auctions have benefited the *Tyendinaga Legal Defense Fund*,
the *Olympics Resistance Network *and the *Forum Against Police Brutality*,
three campaign-oriented groups. This year, we would like to highlight the
critical role direct-support work can play in our movements. The Native
Women's Shelter is a perfect example of how people can survive and struggle
together.

*Artists and non-Artists:*
We are asking for donations of art (and non-art) in any format. We prefer
work with an anti-colonial or Indigenous sovereigntist message, but anything
that is aligned with Ste-Emilie's mandate of anti-oppression and
self-representation is much much appreciated.

*
Community organizations:*
If your membership or participants would like to contribute somehow, please
get in touch. We would be happy to organize workshops with you at Ste-Emilie
or your own space.

The auction will take place *Friday, May 6th*. Net proceeds from the auction
go directly to the Shelter.
