Thank You to Our Community!

Through the generous support of our community during Give Local NRV we raised $4,108—a 35% increase from last year! That support fuels youth and adult art classes, exhibits, concerts, and creative opportunities for people of all ages.

We’re so grateful to each of the 45 people who donated and to everyone who helped us share our message and encouraged us!

Thank you to you all for believing in the transformative power of the arts.
