About the AIC and Journey’s End Refugee Services

Based in Washington, DC, and founded in 1987, the American Immigration Council works to strengthen the United States by honoring its immigrant history and shaping how Americans think about and act on immigration. The organization advances a fair and just immigration system that welcomes people, protects rights, and fosters a society in which immigrants can thrive.

“At a time when immigrants and refugees face extraordinary challenges, this exhibition is a powerful reminder that we all benefit when we welcome people and build communities where everyone has the chance to belong. We are deeply honored by the generosity of these artists and David Zwirner for standing in solidarity with immigrants at this moment. This exhibition reflects the power of art to create connection and to help envision a more welcoming and inclusive society,” stated Jeremy Robbins, executive director of the American Immigration Council.

Journey’s End Refugee Services in Buffalo, New York provides refugees with the resources and support they need to become successful, active, and contributing members of the Western New York community. They offer programs in resettlement, education, employment, immigration legal services, interpreting and translation services, immigrant resources, youth mentoring and urban farming.

Pamela Bos Kefi, CEO of Journey’s End Refugee Services, stated: “We are deeply grateful to David Zwirner gallery, participating artists, and the broader arts community for choosing to support Journey’s End Refugee Services in Buffalo, New York. Our story—like all of America’s story—is one of supporting generations of immigrants who have built vibrant, thriving communities through their contributions, resilience, and vision.

At a time when many immigrant communities face significant challenges, this support helps us continue providing innovative and critically needed immigration services to people who are often underserved and vulnerable. We are especially thankful to the artists who elevate these important stories, and who, through their work, foster connections between people of all walks of life. Their generosity, creativity, and courage make this event possible, and we are honored to be the beneficiary of their efforts.”
