The ARTS at Marks Garage - AUGUST 2018 Update

The ARTS at Marks Garage

The ARTS at Marks Garage cannot survive without your financial help. Yes, I'm talking to YOU!

We've come a very long way over the last year, and we need you to join our team of supporters to continue. This is not the sort of organization that can subsist on earned income alone. To do that, we would have to charge you and our artist partners more, select only well-known artists to display - and sell - in our gallery and choose to only promote creative endeavor that is commercially lucrative. That's not who we are. That's not why we're here.

The ARTS at Marks Garage began as a cooperative of artists who wanted to support themselves, each other and the community through creative work. Throughout the years, The ARTS continues to persist in our mission to transform our community with the power of the arts. You can join the effort, or sit back and hope for the best...

We'd like to invite you to be the change you want to see in Chinatown. When you become a sustaining donor to The ARTS, you help assure that positive activities continue to light up Chinatown. While you help the burgeoning artist around the corner get a chance to be seen, you also assure that you'll be able to see their work in a community that needs all of us.

Please consider becoming one of our 1001 Friends with a monthly gift of $10 or more, or a one-time donation of any amount (if it's meaningful to you, it will be meaningful to us). We need you and appreciate your desire to support the transformative power of art in our community!

Support The ARTS!
