RED EYE FESTIVAL PARTNERS WITH SMITTEN KITTEN’S MUTAL AID FUND
Smitten Kitten’s fund is rapid-response, low-barrier, no-application cash assistance for people on the margins targeted by state violence and systemic oppression. Funds move person-to-person with no overhead.
As of this writing, there is a $26K backlog of urgent requests. People in our communities are still being impacted by ICE enforcement and economic precarity. The need is immediate.
As a small artist-run nonprofit navigating reduced arts funding and lower ticket revenue across the field, we wanted to build a partnership that could offer sustained material support while remaining financially sustainable for the artists and workers who make this festival possible.

Red Eye is an artist-led organization where we—artists, staff, and community—form a relational collective, stewarding our shared resources, relationships, and creative potential.
