FAQs
When does the THIRST 2021 Virtual Store Open?
Mark your calendars! The THIRST 2021 Virtual Shop opens on May 15, 2021 at 8:00 AM PST. It will be open until June 26, 2021.
When I purchase a piece of art, where does the money go?
Each artist has set the price of their artwork, as well as what percentage they are donating from the sale of their art to the THIRST fundraiser.
In the description of each listing, there is a breakdown of what percentage THIRST receives, and what percentage is received by the artist, in addition to shipping and handling charges. This is done to ensure full transparency in the fundraising process.
We believe THIRST can successfully fundraise while artists are fairly compensated for their artistic currency and contribution. Mutual benefit is a beautiful thing!
What does THIRST do with the funds?
All funds that are raised will be split between two non-profits: No More Deaths / No Más Muertes and Casa Alitas. Find out more about both incredible organizations here.
At the conclusion of THIRST 2021 on June 26, 2021, the donations will be tallied and dispersed to both non-profits.
Follow along on Instagram for the total numbers raised and more stories and updates!
Can I support THIRST and donate without purchasing artwork?
Absolutely! Every single dollar counts! Donate here.
How long will it take to ship my art?
It depends! When artwork sells, THIRST notifies the artists and the artist will begin packing up and shipping out your wonderful purchases! Each listing provides the artist’s estimate for S/H.
How can I further support the artists?
A diverse collection of 75+ incredibly talented and generous artists, spanning artistic mediums have come together to contribute their craft and put so much heart and love into this event!
Please support them! Follow them on social media, visit their websites and comment on and share their posts! Their primary sales or social media account is linked in the Artists page.
Many artists have had to pivot during the pandemic, get creative and find alternative ways to showcase their work; your support means so much!
