About the Artist Plate Project

The Coalition for the Homeless is honored to work with 50 world-renowned artists to create limited-edition dinner plates produced by Prospect and made available through Artware Editions. All of the funds raised by the sale of plates will provide food, crisis services, housing and other critical aid to thousands of people experiencing homelessness and instability. The purchase of just one plate can feed 75 homeless and hungry New Yorkers.

About the Coalition for the Homeless

The Coalition for the Homeless is the nation’s oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness. We believe that affordable housing, sufficient food and the chance to work for a living wage are fundamental rights in a civilized society. Since our inception in 1981, the Coalition has worked through litigation, public education and direct services to ensure that these goals are realized, and in that time, we have given more than one million homeless New Yorkers a way off the streets.

More people are now homeless in NYC than at any time since the Great Depression. The Coalition for the Homeless provides lifesaving relief to thousands of homeless New Yorkers each and every day. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we dramatically increased our direct services to meet the huge surge in need, and are now preparing for the difficult days ahead when the economic crisis is expected to bring a new wave of evictions, job loss, hunger and homelessness. We thank you for your support of the Artist Plate Project.

Jenny Holzer’s work is defined by her use of text. Whether questioning, describing, or lamenting a specific object or theme, her work’s true purpose is to agitate and disturb its audience at the core – a technique particularly effective when displayed in public spaces and mistaken for an advertisement. For this collaboration, the political turmoil and unrest that revolves around the Trump presidency in the U.S. takes center stage for a limited edition of art decks.

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with the artist's estate to make this edition, donate 10% of the proceeds from this edition to the organizations Change the Ref and vote.org.
