At the end of the year...
Do you hear that? That is the sound of the world changing. Every day, more and more communities, organizations and individuals are clamoring for creativity in their work, lives and neighborhoods. At Springboard, we have always known that creativity comes from inspiration and art comes from artists. We believe in transformational possibility and in giving creative ideas room to grow. We do that by developing professional potential and economic opportunities for individual artists.
Join us. Making a gift to Springboard for the Arts directly supports healthcare for artists and their families, creates more innovative artist business and community training programs, and strengthens our Incubator services helping over 200 artist-led projects get off the ground.
You can give to Springboard's 20th Anniversary campaign here.
Or directly to a Springboard Incubator project.
Check out our incredible growth in our 2011 Annual Report (click through for a large image, and also pictured below).
As we finish up an amazing 20th year, we are thrilled and daunted to be heading into a new era of serving artists and communities with all of you.
Sincerely,
The Staff & Board of Springboard for the Arts
