Dear Friends,
I can’t say “The arts saved my life” but they sure have made it better. As a young child, my family sometimes struggled to make ends meet, but I was always afforded the opportunity to learn visual and performing arts at my public school. Later, when I wanted to delve deeper in the arts, I was fortunate that my parents had worked their way into a position to afford it—summer art camps, my own flute, and eventually private bassoon lessons!
Obviously not everyone is fortunate enough to have the resources to pay the cost of classes or lessons. Now, at MAC and throughout Portland Parks & Recreation, it’s easier than ever for City of Portland residents to access programs, thanks to the Parks Levy that was approved by voters in November 2020. Using PP&R’s Pay What You Can option, registered activities can be reduced up to 75% without an application.
For those that need further discounts or don’t live in the City of Portland, you can still get a scholarship from the Multnomah Arts Center Association. Additional financial assistance is available for MAC programs by completing this scholarship form. If you have any questions, simply reply to this email.
Right now, I’m preparing to send out MACA’s Annual Appeal letter requesting support, so look for a few more emails from us this December. If you can afford it, please consider giving at a level that is comfortable for you. And if you want to beat me to the punch, you can donate now.
Sincerely,
|
