EIIC Mental Health Fundraiser

On Sunday, November 10th, the Emerald Isle Immigration Center will host a fundraiser in the Dead Rabbit to support and bring awareness to our mental health services. 

The goal of our event is to raise much needed funds for the Emerald Isle Immigration Center’s Metal Health Services – specifically the Therapy and Counseling which we have provided at no cost to hundreds of young Irish people over the past 36 Years. With the money raised here, the EIIC will be able to take on new clients who may not have otherwise been able to access Mental Health services because of a lack of resources or information, which could have life-changing impacts for people struggling as they pursue their lives thousands of miles away from home. 

Our event has sold out but please support us by purchasing tickets to our raffle with some amazing prizes including –  

2 Return Flights | Jet Blue | Any destination 

2 Nights Stay + 1 Dinner  | 4 Star Dunmore House Hotel | Clonakilty, Ireland

Painted Dreams  

Immigration and Naïve art in the Big Apple 

A solo art exhibition and sale featuring the work of Colombian painter Alejandro Pinzon  

Artifact Projects 155 Suffolk St. New York, NY 10002  

Exhibition: Oct 23 – Nov 2, 2024  

Proceeds to benefit Emerald Isle Immigration Center 

Opening reception: Wed Oct. 23rd & Thru Oct. 24th, 6-8 PM 

Alejandro Pinzón is one of six EIIC Creatives — accomplished artists and recipients of a two-year Creatives Rebuild New York Artist Employment Program grant to the Emerald Isle Immigration Center. 

He principally works in oil, and his pieces reflect his surroundings and everything that inspires his curiosity. 

His solo art exhibition and sale — Painted Dreams — is a wonderful opportunity to see how and where as an EIIC Creatives artist in support of immigration he found inspiration, be it in memories, lived experiences, stories, history, music, customs from his hometown and matters of personal effect. 

The EIIC team is dedicated to serving New Yorkers of diverse cultures from over 130 nations from Woodside, Queens, and Woodlawn, Bronx offices with a full suite of free, vital services. 

EIIC has harnessed the power of creativity to support pioneering artists – and raising awareness of its services among new communities of immigrants in the process.
