2020Solidarity Posters
From Wolfgang Tillmans’s foundation Between Bridges
2020Solidarity is a project organized by Wolfgang Tillmans’s foundation Between Bridges, aimed at helping cultural and music venues, community projects, independent spaces, and publications that are threatened by the current crisis.
Over fifty artists from around the world (including Tomma Abts, Marlene Dumas, William Eggleston, Isa Genzken, Jeff Koons, Thomas Ruff, Luc Tuymans, James Welling and more) have contributed images to the initiative. Between Bridges prints and ships these posters to participating organizations as a fundraising incentive. The posters are available for a minimum donation of fifty dollars, euros, or pounds, and one hundred percent of proceeds go directly to the beneficiaries.
The Between Bridges 2020Solidarity project is ongoing and evolving with additional artists and organizations added regularly. A selection of 2020Solidarity posters and beneficiaries follows below; to view all the posters and the participating organizations, please click here.
