A VERY big thank you to all our supporters!
We have surpassed our original Arts Impact Fund goal.
$1,051,082 in cash and in-kind gifts have been donated so far by our amazing community!
Our recent survey of artists and arts organizations in our region shows there is still significant financial need as they recover and restart.
So we will keep the Impact Fund open and active to help ensure that our arts, culture, and heritage sector will survive and thrive!
