The most recent of Barnard’s pro-bono projects, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), is a non-profit law firm that defends and advances the rights of low-income immigrants and their families. Barnard created a workplace reflective of NILC’s identity as a vibrant and robust advocate for social justice. Barnard established and curated a year-long fine art exhibition to continue to help NILC beyond the scope of her design services, by coordinating the artists, overseeing the installation, producing an exhibition catalog and promoting the opening reception. The event infused NILC’s workspace with visual art, raised funds for the organization and expanded their community of supporters to include not only attorneys and advocates but also artists, collectors, curators, critics, designers, and friends.
