The original painting "Suffrage Soup"&nbsp; by Jennie Carr could be yours! $10 tickets online at www.rlwv.org&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Stirring Up Democracy: League of Women Voters of Ridgefield Launches 11th Annual Art Raffle Featuring “Suffrage Soup”</h2>
Ridgefield, CT — What happens when feminist pop art meets nonpartisan civic engagement? You get “Suffrage Soup.”
The League of Women Voters of Ridgefield is kicking off its 11th Annual Art Raffle Fundraiser with an original, framed acrylic painting by Jennie Carr,&nbsp; a bold, humor-infused artist and member of the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.
Valued at $700, the 16” x 22” piece will be awarded to one lucky winner on May 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. during a Meet the Artist drawing at Queen B Coffee Company (winner need not be present to win). Raffle tickets are $10 each, and all proceeds support the League’s nonpartisan voter education efforts. You can meet the artist next Tuesday, March 10th at 10am at Queen B and see the artwork in person!
Carr, who shows her work throughout New England, has also been featured in Ms. magazine. Jennie is known for art that blends cultural commentary, humor, and unapologetic feminist energy. In a past interview, she described art as a way to “shine a light on the darknesses that creep up on us in society,” adding that it can serve as both bridge and catalyst.
“Suffrage Soup” embodies that spirit. It’s playful yet pointed, colorful yet grounded in civic purpose. It’s a reminder that democracy is not a spectator sport, and that creativity can be a powerful force for engagement.
For more than a decade, the League’s annual art raffle has connected the local arts community with supporters from across the region and beyond. What began as a creative fundraiser has become a beloved tradition. A tradition that fuels trusted, nonpartisan voter education in every election cycle.
Tickets are available for $10 each at <a href="https://www.rlwv.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.rlwv.org</a>. Because democracy, like soup, is best served when everyone has a seat at the table. For more information about the raffle, contact Amanda Cordano at 203-313-9930. For more information about the artist Jennie Carr, please check out her Instagram @jenniecarr.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
