BIG PRINTS, BIG IDEAS, BIG COMMUNITY!

What an incredible day at our inaugural ABC Art Market + BIG PRINTS!

From talented local artists and makers to oversized woodblock printing with a ROAD PAVER, we brought creativity, collaboration, and community together in a BIG way!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing participating artists, vendors, volunteers, partners, our QCC community Barre Life, Clyde's Cupcakes, The Gardens at Queen City Center, Wicked Joyful, Harpoon At Queen City Center and everyone who came out to support our first event.

This is just the beginning!

Help us continue building opportunities for artists, and bringing creative experiences to our community.

HELP US OPEN THE DOORS

Together, we’ve raised more than 20% toward ABC’s new home but we still have critical work to complete before we can open.

- Water + plumbing: several thousand dollars
- Ventilation: approximately $5,000
- Electrical: another several thousand dollars

These may not be the exciting things you see when a mural goes up or a class begins, but without them, there is no studio.

We have the space. Classes and workshops are being planned. Equipment is arriving. Artists are ready.

Now we need your help turning an empty space into a working community art center.

Please consider making a gift of any size, or share this post and help us reach someone new.

Build the studio. Build creativity. Build community.

Raise the funds needed to transform our new HQ into a vibrant community arts center that inspires creativity, strengthens connections, and expands the arts.

HELP US FILL THE STUDIO

We’re getting closer to opening the doors to Arts Build Community’s new home, and now we need your help filling it.

Our next goal: $4,500 for the easels and seating that will make classes, workshops, and free community programs possible.

$75 = one stool
$150 = a pair of stools
$300 = one easel

Our goal is 10 easels + the seating we need = $4,500.

See everything we still need for ABC HQ:

These aren’t just pieces of equipment, they’re places for people to learn, make, experiment, and create together.

Can you help us fill the studio?

Every gift gets us one seat or one easel closer to opening our doors.
