The September 2017 earthquakes have devastated many parts of Mexico, affecting over 12 million people in 700 municipalities across central and southeast Mexico, tragically resulting in over 470 deaths. A lot of work has been done to recover, but there is still much to do. Mexico has experienced thousands of aftershocks since September 2017, and many communities are still rebuilding their lives.

You can make a difference. In a fundraiser collaboration very close to our hearts, Static Medium and artist Clare Toms have brought together an international group of artists to create a very special Limited Edition Fundraiser Print Set.

For this years Valentine's Day - also known as the Day of Love and Friendship in Mexico, share the love with those in need through the purchase of this collection of limited edition prints by celebrated international artists.

Release date: This Wednesday, Feb 14th at 12:00pm Noon PST (https://staticmedium.com/shop/).

The prints are 9" x 12" giclee prints in an edition of 250 and they'll be $150 per set. It's an 8 print set featuring works from Alex Garcia, Josh Keyes, Sylvia Ji, Monica Loya, Saner, Luis Sanchez, Miss Van and Clare Toms.

100% of profits raised will be donated to two non-profit Mexican organisations who are actively and transparently working to rebuild communities through specialised programs: Ambulante's 'Levantemos Mexico' program, and Fondo Semilla's 'Women Rebuilding Their Communities' fund - a program supporting the long-term recovery in the states affected by the Earthquake - Oaxaca, Chiapas, Puebla, Morelos, State of Mexico and Mexico City. Fondo Semillas is a non-profit organisation focused on improving women's lives in Mexico.

A huge thank you in advance to all of our fans and collectors who support us in this project. Grab some great art and help put a roof over the head of someone who lost everything they had.

None of the last 9 images work (for me, anyway), sounds like a cool lineup and a great cause though!

this.

and for what its worth, think you would have much better luck with splitting up the set or at least having some options for individuals.

The set concept was established early on before we joined the project, so I doubt that can change this late in the process.

We tried to make it as affordable as possible. It comes out to under $20 a print, which is a great deal.

Think of it as paying $150 for the print you want, and you get 7 bonus prints for free. :wink:

Images should be working now but let me know if anyone still has trouble viewing. Thanks!
