Arts Build Community

HELP US OPEN THE DOORS

Together, we’ve raised more than 20% toward ABC’s new home but we still have critical work to complete before we can open.

- Water + plumbing: several thousand dollars
- Ventilation: approximately $5,000
- Electrical: another several thousand dollars

These may not be the exciting things you see when a mural goes up or a class begins, but without them, there is no studio.

We have the space. Classes and workshops are being planned. Equipment is arriving. Artists are ready.

Now we need your help turning an empty space into a working community art center.

Please consider making a gift of any size, or share this post and help us reach someone new.

Build the studio. Build creativity. Build community.

HELP US FILL THE STUDIO

We’re getting closer to opening the doors to Arts Build Community’s new home, and now we need your help filling it.

Our next goal: $4,500 for the easels and seating that will make classes, workshops, and free community programs possible.

$75 = one stool
$150 = a pair of stools
$300 = one easel

Our goal is 10 easels + the seating we need = $4,500.

See everything we still need for ABC HQ:

These aren’t just pieces of equipment, they’re places for people to learn, make, experiment, and create together.

Can you help us fill the studio?
