May Arts Marathon:

Liza King’s May Arts Marathon


May Arts Marathon Participant: Liza King

Mission: Telling the story of immigration in my family (all four grandparents) and weaving that into other stories, historical and possibly contemporary. Painting, drawing, writing. I’ll be creating visual art some days and writing on other days.

Message: The May Arts Marathon is CASP’s key fundraiser. CASP hopes to raise $50,000 this year. With all the uncertainty around the new administration, one thing we know for sure is that people who are experiencing violence and terror in their home countries will continue to seek asylum in this country. Sponsors like you are key to CASP being able to support its mission of cultivating a supportive community for asylum seekers in Southern Vermont, while fulfilling basic needs and accompanying them on their journey towards building a better life in this country.

The May Arts Marathon is a community effort. Artists support their vision for a just world by sending copies of their creative work to sponsors like you 5 days a week for the month of May. Sponsors donate to support this work. Together we support asylum seekers who, in turn, enrich our community with their determination, energy, and diverse experiences.
