Galleries, museums, concert halls, events, and many artistic venues across the region were the first to close down because of COVID-19 and will be the last to reopen. Entire seasons and exhibitions and summer and fall festivals continue to be postponed and canceled.

Without your help, we could lose the institutions that help brighten our communities forever.
