We want to share our warmest thank you to everyone who attended last evening's Town Hall!

The space was packed with folks who have beautiful ideas and collaborative spirits to share in the face of federal defunding of the arts.

This conversation was only the beginning—stay tuned for more!

PLEASE READ

When we look at the current funding landscape for arts & culture, not only in our region but nationally, we see an unsustainable situation.

For decades, local arts & culture organizations have relied on grant-makers who get their funds from the federal government. Now that those funds are on their way out, 3 Dots is among a coalition of nonprofits tasked with finding new ways to secure the resources we need to meet our mission.

To be transparent, since November, more than 50% of our expected funding has been cut.

We are committed to continuing this work, and we are confident that we can successfully grow and flourish with the support of our community and the stewardship of our network of community partners. We know that we are not alone in this funding struggle, and we believe that the way forward involves intentional coalition building between local arts & culture organizations.

Come to our programs, make your voice heard at the upcoming town hall and support the arts.

We need you.

Thank you, friends
💜 your 3 dots family
