On behalf of , we’re wishing you a very merry and very safe holiday season. As we begin to wrap 2021, we look back over this last year and are filled with so much gratitude...
*We celebrated our 1 year birthday on December 1st, and it reminded us how truly amazing this community is. During our launch last year, all of you came together to reach our goal of raising $25,000 in 12 hours! We were B L O W N A W A Y and affirmed that what we are aiming for is exactly what is needed.
*We partnered with 23 professional artists all over the country and produced our "Stories of the heArt" Tour. Photographers, designers, costumers, dancers, videographers, directors, producers, musicians, entertainers, muralists-- the list goes on, all shared their own unique and personal story while opening up about the importance of the Arts in our world today.
*We co-hosted our first heART CAMP with the amazing West Nashville Dream Center, partnered with over 15 artists, and brought the creative arts to 20 kids that participate in WNDC's regular programming. We were completely inspired by their amazing talents! The difference we saw in just one short week again affirmed that the mission we're on to provide creative expressive opportunities is an extremely important part in healing trauma.
*Our Giving Tree campaign during Giving Tuesday, proudly raised $12,750 in just two days! We are on track to host another heART CAMP and continue our efforts of securing a physical space for our creators to create...
*I personally wanted to write to each of you and extend my sincerest thanks. With the exception of one company, every. single. donation that came in this past year was from an individual. EACH of you were a part of providing these opportunities this year and that is something to be very proud of. I'm humbled, and from the depths of my soul,
Thank you,
Amanda Herdina | Founder/Director
