Denied Access

Denied Access is a recurring fundraiser series, presented in different formats, that supports reproductive healthcare access through cultural and community events.

Denied Access is an ongoing campaign from ACTUM Giving, an arts and community engagement organization, built around fundraising for reproductive healthcare access through cultural events rather than direct appeals. Stories in Art, held July 12, 2026 at 47 Thames Street in Bushwick, paired a daytime art exhibition with live painting and short film, with proceeds from the show going toward the cause. The format repeats elsewhere under the same name, including a yoga and meditation session at Baby Cobra Yoga and a cocktail evening with a vintage pop-up in Bed-Stuy.
