Top artists have collaborated with eBay's charity arm to offer an array of striking bandanas in support of nonprofit organizations working to increase voter turnout in the upcoming U.S. elections.
The fundraiser, "Artists Band Together," benefits efforts in nonpartisan voter registration and education organized by Mijente, Rise and Woke Vote. The 15 limited-edition designs will also bring visual awareness to the vote as a wearable or as an art piece to be displayed and collected.
Selling quickly, the full set ($525) or individual bandanas (sold separately in stages) can be purchased with designs by: Victoria Cassinova, Shepard Fairey, Jenny Holzer, Luchita Hurtado, Juliana Huxtable, Alex Israel, Merritt Johnson, Christine Sun Kim, Barbara Kruger, Marilyn Minter, Christina Quarles, Umar Rashid, Xavier Schipani, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Hank Willis Thomas, For Freedoms.
Poignantly, Luchita Hurtado, who died last week at age 99 following a rapid rise in popularity over the last several years, entitled her artwork ($35) Together Forever.
