About

Art From the Attic is a one-day art show of between 1,800 to 2,000 pieces of pre-owned hangable art. Come view the great selection of art, that ranges from lower to higher-end pieces! All art is provided via donations from the community, to raise funds to support African Grandmothers through the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmothers to Grandmother Campaign. Come join us for an amazing day!

The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign supports grandmothers in 15 sub-Saharan African countries, all of whom have been affected by the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Grandmothers (“unsung heroes”) disproportionately absorbed the impact of AIDS as it swept through the continent, taking up parenting roles again for grandchildren whose parents had died of AIDS, finding ways to earn income to feed clothe and support education for them, battling discrimination and stigma, and advocating for human rights and property rights, all in the context of their own grief and need for support. The COVID pandemic set back many advances.
