August is about the generosity gap.

Swipe through the numbers with us ▶️

Give early today or on National Black Giving Day 8/28 to close the gap. Donation Link in Bio.

Two-thirds of Black households donate. That's roughly $11 billion every single year. Our giving has always been counted, just rarely credited.

And we don't give from surplus. Black households give 25% more of their income than white households; the most generous of any community in America, despite the widest wealth gap. That's not just charity, that's conviction.

A conviction that’s necessary to keep Black artists thriving. Between 2008 and 2020, just 2.2% of acquisitions at 31 major U.S. museums were works by Black artists; about a fifth of what it would be if collections reflected this country.

Same story in the funding. Arts organizations serving communities of color make up 25% of the field and receive 4% of foundation dollars. A quarter of the work, a twenty-fifth of the support.

So we built what wasn't being funded. Residencies. Free studio space. Exhibitions. Performances. A place in East Harris County where Black artists get shown, supported, and paid.

The gap doesn't close on its own. It closes when we close it. Every gift to ACA this August automatically grows 5% through Givebutter's Black Philanthropy Month match. Give any amount with the link in bio.

Every gift is a voice in the movement. Add yours 🖤 givebutter.com/ACA828

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." — Toni Morrison 🖤

The Anderson Center for the Arts exists because nobody was going to build it for us. Free arts programming. Studio space and residencies for Black creatives. 40 new works centering Black narratives this year alone.

A place on the east side where our stories get told in full, because we tell our stories best when we own the room they're told in.

August is Black Philanthropy Month. Every gift to ACA grows 5% automatically via Givebutter's BPM match. Any amount counts.

East Harris County has always had the talent. What it hasn't had is the stage. We decided to take the first steps in changing that this summer with ApolloHTX!

Thank you to DefenderNetwork.com, who recently honored us by interviewing our Executive Director, Michelle Bonton, and the winners of the 1st ApolloHTX talent showcase.

Congratulations again to our inaugural winners, Troy Mason II and Logan Gilbert. 👏🏾
