As the year comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt thanks for being part of our community. This season is marked by many traditions and we are grateful for the diversity of voices, cultures, and perspectives that enrich our shared creative lives.

Art has the power to connect us, inspire reflection, and bring people together. We are deeply thankful for your support of that mission throughout the year—whether through participation, support, or your generosity towards our charitable pursuits.

We wish you a season filled with creativity, peace, and meaningful connection, and a new year full of inspiration and possibility.

The one ongoing project Tom did was for the covers of Prätkäposti (“Bike Mail”), a small format periodical put out by the Finnish motorcycle club, MSC Finland —TOM’s Club, of which Tom was an early member. These he did as a hobby, for the sheer pleasure of it. His closest and most loyal friends were almost all members of the club. The drawings, which he had done for years, consisted of simple ink cartoons. They portray, in dozens of whimsical ways, the joys of motorcycles and their leather-clad riders.

Your help ensures that the arts remain vibrant,
accessible, and meaningful for all.
