With a dark hum, an anti-arts and anti-humanitarian cloud has seemingly materialized over Canada. The next four years may be bleak, but that won’t stop artists and sisters Kasey and Korey Moran from donating their art to help women in Africa.

Goat Money is an art auction held at the Baron Gallery in Gastown this Thursday, May 5th. “When my sister came to my birthday party this year, she brought along a jar with a label that said ‘Goat Money’ and had a hand-drawn picture of a goat,” Korey says.

“Her request was for friends to throw their pocket change into the jar as a way of raising enough money for her Biology instructor, Catherine Glass, to buy one goat for one woman in the small village of Olkoroi, Kenya.”

They made enough money—about $20—to purchase one goat for the Kenyan women, but weren’t ready to stop there. “With the help of friends, volunteers, donations, and the community, we would like to raise as much as possible for Catherine’s next trip to Kenya,” Moran says.

Show your support, pick up some great art, and help buy goats. Easy, right?
