Help Us Support One of Our Own!

Kim Currey/Karin Hall-Willis | Published on 10/6/2026

Help Us Support One of Our Own! For seven dedicated years, Lindsay Ainsworth served as MSW’s very first Executive Director, working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our community connected, creative, and supported. While newer members may not have had the pleasure of working with her, Lindsay’s attention to detail, especially in the development of the MSW website, will have a lasting effect for many years to come.

Lindsay needs a kidney transplant, and in preparation, Lindsay and her family are hosting Share a Piece of Yourself—an interactive, art-filled community event to help cover her medical expenses. Whether you'd like to participate as a vendor (with free booth space for artists!), volunteer, donate artwork, or simply join in the fun we invite you to read Lindsay’s personal invitation here and see how you can get involved in supporting a cherished member of our MSW family. If you can’t be present, there are other ways to participate and, of course, you can simply make a donation here.
