Dear ASI Friends –
It is with heartfelt gratitude that we send thanks to YOU for all your support and for staying strong in a year which has proven to be one of the most difficult landscapes the arts and cultural sector has faced in recent history.
In addition to our regular programs and offerings, we are proud to have been able to support the field during this time through several COVID-specific support initiatives, such as:
- The WNY Arts Emergency Relief Fund (check out the heartwarming thank you video here);
- Reopening Together online series and hosting monthly reopening task force discussions;
- Promoting artists and their work through the #ShowUsYourArt campaigns;
- And additional resources, opportunities, survey results, advocacy, and networks to connect and share.
We will continue to work side by side with our local creative industry to navigate these uncharted waters. With your support, we can continue providing free and low cost programming, services, and resources for the thousands of artists, creatives, and administrators in WNY. We ask that you consider making a donation to ASI, if you are able.
#WeAreWNYArts and we will not only make it through this, but come out on the other side stronger – together!
Jennifer Swan-Kilpatrick
