Your generosity will help propel Lanesboro Arts into 2025!
Our Reach for the Arts annual fund campaign is an opportunity to highlight the many amazing things our Lanesboro Arts members help make happen over the year. Your support has continued to make wonderful programs and events happen here at Lanesboro Arts, even through both global, national, and local landscape changes, and the usual day to day realities of non-profit work. Lanesboro Arts continues to adapt and grow with a sustained and enthusiastic commitment to fostering the arts in our area. We’re deeply grateful for your support that makes it all possible.
We look back on 2024 as a year of connection and grounding. We gathered with our community of artists, art lovers, and community members around local live performances, educational workshops and celebratory gallery openings. We hosted two month-long early career artist residencies and five BIPOC artist residencies. Not only that, we reconnected with previous artists-in-residence, who hosted workshops throughout the year. We welcomed thousands of visitors to the refurbished Gallery space, as well as two new gallery staff members. We offered our beloved summer youth art programs and strengthened our support for art in the schools. Behind the scenes, we invested in our organization’s commitment to justice equity diversity and inclusion, while taking steps to ensure Lanesboro Art’s organizational strength, stability, and relevance into the future.
This brief list only highlights some of the wonderful ways in which Lanesboro Arts works to fulfill its mission as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for people of all ages in our vibrant and unique community.
We believe in the transformative power of creativity in our daily lives. We believe in the collective impact of art and artists in processing our world. We believe that our community is strongest when we rise together to grow into new challenges and opportunities. As our team plans for another year of diverse, joyful, and impactful art programming, we ask you to join our efforts through your financial support.
Your support will help:
- Support new and continued public art projects.
- Youth arts programming that enriches art educations and inspires young people to create.
- Rhythms on the Root concert series in Gateway Park.
- Support and uplift emerging and established regional artists
- Artist Residency Programs and more!
Our goal is to raise $10,000 by December 31st. We are consistently amazed at the strength of our community support. Thank you for your part in bringing the arts to life in Lanesboro.
We’re relying on people like you to help us reach our goal and provide these experiences for our region.
