Help Fund My Thesis Exhibition – Celebrating the BIPOC Punk Scene in NYC

Hey y’all!

My Thesis Exhibition is coming up on April 7, and I need a little help covering costs for framing and materials to bring it all together.

This project is all about the BIPOC Punk scene in NYC—a community that has given me a home, a safe space, and a place to connect with people who share my values. It’s a space where I’ve been able to fully express myself, and this show is my way of giving back.

The only thing holding me back right now is finances. As a visa holder, I can’t legally work in the U.S., which makes funding this project really tough. I hate asking for help, but if you’re able to contribute, any amount would go a long way in making this exhibition happen.

To everyone who donates—thank you so, so much for supporting me and this work. It truly means the world.

P.S. If someone does end up buying anything, I’ll be donating the profits to NYIC (New York Immigration Coalition) to support immigrant communities.

Much love,

Arno Reyes Baetz
