A pay-what-you-can art sale at the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society on Sunday, Oct. 18, will send all proceeds to Haitian women who lost federal immigration protection July 27.

Local artists are donating original work for the event, called "Art for All," organized by activist group Boston For All. It runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at LexArt's building at 130 Waltham St. Admission is free, and no ticket is required.

Attendees browse original pieces and choose their own price.

All proceeds go to the Association of Haitian Women in Boston, known by its Haitian Kreyol name KAFANM. The Dorchester-based nonprofit, founded in 1988 when a group of Haitian women gathered in a Hyde Park basement to form a women's study group, helps low-income Haitian women and their children gain economic independence.

The fundraiser comes less than three months after Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti ended. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June in Mullin v. Doe, allowing the Trump administration to terminate TPS for Haiti and Syria. The terminations took effect July 27, according to Pew Research Center.

Roughly 334,900 Haitian nationals had held TPS nationwide. In Massachusetts, approximately 46,000 Haitians and Haitian-Americans held TPS, with more than half living in the Boston metropolitan area, according to a Jan. 20 field hearing convened by Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Edward Markey. The Association of Haitian Women in Boston participated in that hearing at Jubilee Christian Church in Mattapan.

Jeremy Fischer, founder of Boston For All, wrote on the group's website that the organization passes all money raised directly to its chosen beneficiary. "We do not keep any money that we raise during our events," Fischer wrote. Boston For All covers its minimal expenses through sponsors and volunteers.

The group's previous Art for All event, held Feb. 7 at the Brookline Teen Center, raised more than $20,000 for the Brazilian Women's Group.

LexArt, founded in 1935, sits about 500 steps from the Lexington Battle Green. The 11,000-square-foot building houses studios, meeting rooms and gallery space. The society transitioned in 2023 to a public-facing community resource open to all visitors.

The Oct. 18 sale is free and open to anyone. More information is available at bostonforall.com.
