UPDATE 04/27/2021: Artpark has hit our $200,000 fundraising goal! Thank you for all of your support! If you would still like to contribute toward Artpark's ongoing sustainability, please visit Artpark.net/Donate.
As COVID-19 has impacted everyone's life, the live entertainment industry has been especially challenged, and will be among the last to return to sustainable operations. Artpark lost over 80% of its revenues this year with the cancellation or postponement of all our large scale concerts that attract over 100,000 people every summer. Even while we adapted to present our most innovative and socially relevant season yet, this loss is something that will be felt for years to come.
We cannot say thank you enough to those of you who joined and supported this work, but there is still a lot to be done. With the State budget decimated and institutional funding diverted to other industries, it is up to our immediate community to sustain its cultural needs.
Only with your support can we ensure that Artpark remains a place of discovery and inspiration for every individual, no matter their abilities, background, or the size of the crowd.
Artpark Live is about more than one season, it is about the many seasons to come and the many lives we have still yet to reach. Artpark Live is more than just a fundraiser, it is also a community of passionate arts advocates who believe that arts and entertainment add to our quality of life. A movement to support a brighter future, as we move from recovery and into resilience.
To further that movement, Artpark's volunteer Board of Directors is matching the next $20,000 in gifts made to our campaign. For every $1 you donate on or after September 16th, you're unlocking a matching $1 from one of our board members, doubling the effect of your contribution. This full match is critical to keeping Artpark sustained through our off-season as we look forward to what 2021 will bring.
Please be the next to donate and ensure that we unlock the full amount of this extraordinary matching gift!
