BISBEE — In an effort to support organizations that work to promote border justice, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Old Bisbee is asking artists to donate artwork in what could become an annual event.


Liz Hampton, a member of St. John’s, announced the event called Art Has No Borders which will be held April 24 and April 25. Money raised through the auction will be given to the Episcopal Border Ministries, The Naco Migrant Resource Center, Humanitarian Border Solutions and The Naco Wellness Initiative, Hampton added.

Artists and collectors can drop off artworks at St. John’s on Friday, March 23, between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., Hampton added. If special arrangements need to be made, she will oblige.

The donated art will be on display at St. John’s on Saturday, April 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., said Hampton. On Sunday, there will be a “festive” reception starting at 12:30 p.m. prior to the silent auction. The auction is being held in conjunction with the fifth annual “God Has No Borders” Naco procession to the border to be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 24, said Polley. Participants should meet at St. Michael’s Catholic Church on West Martinez at 12:30 p.m. and bring something for the pot luck.
