Care & Community Party 2026

A night of art, music, food, and fun to raise funds for youth caregivers! Join us as we celebrate the Manipura Care Network's fourth year of empowering youth caregivers in South Florida. Featuring photographs from our summer programs, artworks from this year's Resident Artist-Caregivers -- Amanda Linares, Pablo Matute, Corinne Bernard, and Chelsea Granger -- as well as live music from a celebrated band of instrumentalists. All guests can enjoy food and beverages with ticket entry. Connect, Empower, and Transform tiers receive limited edition t-shirts by our Artists-in-Residence printed by local printshop, Against All Odds Screenprinting. This party is for everyone. Ours is a community-driven fundraiser to invest in arts education for local caregiving youth - young people who care for a sick, elderly, or disabled family member. 70% of proceeds go to the Manipura Care Network's arts education programs for youth caregivers, providing field trips, art classes, professional-grade supplies, and community to our students. 30% of the proceeds go to the Laundromat Art Space and their community-oriented contemporary arts programming in Miami-Dade County.
