SaveArtSpace is proud to partner with Autumn Breon, FEMINIST, and Plan C to present Care Now, Care Forever, a public art exhibition on billboards in cities across the United States.

In the spirit of radical imagination, we know we will reach a future where care is the standard. What will reproductive freedom look and feel like?

In a time of threatened rights, art becomes a tool for resistance and transformation. Care Now, Care Forever investigates the visual aesthetic of collective resistance. We envision a post-Roe future led by a radical reimagination that demands the impossible. By illustrating the vision of reproductive freedom fighters, we showcase the world we are fighting for. Imagine a society where care is the standard. As rights are stripped away, our ability to reimagine the world becomes our strongest weapon. Care Now, Care Forever invites you to explore and embrace this vision.

Curated by Autumn Breon; Aisha Becker-Burrowes & Ky Polanco, co-founders of FEMINIST; and Martha Dimitratou, of Plan C.

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between August 12 and September 16, 2024. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboards across the United States.

Open call for art ends September 16, 2024. There is a $10 donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art.

Selected artists will be announced after September 30, 2024. Public art will be installed October 28, 2024 in select US cities.

Plan C is a public health campaign and a catalyst for abortion pills by mail in the US. Since 2015, Plan C has led the way in normalizing access to abortion pills for self-managed care: actively increasing awareness of this safe and effective method and supporting new routes of direct access to pills by mail, from any state. Plan C maintains the only comprehensive Guide to Pills which includes both mainstream and alternative routes of access and options for free and confidential support. Plan C runs creative campaigns, works with brands and media, and builds cross-sector partnerships to make the method more known and available and reach audiences facing the biggest barriers to care. We do this under a vision of disentangling pills from politics and moving agency over abortion back to the individual seeker, empowering them to make the decision that’s best for them. Learn more about Plan C and your options in every state at plancpills.org
