EEA HAPPENINGS:

OCTOBER 2023

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

WHEN WE'RE IN IT TOGETHER

WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED HOW IMPORTANT ART AND MUSIC ARE TO OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. To help EEA end this year financially strong, we challenge you to give up something you purchase in your everyday life [like that coffee run, lunch out, movie night, or shopping trip] and donate that money instead to honor the importance of the arts!

Then, challenge others to do the same. Let's go viral!

Join the Challenge

What will you give up for the arts?
