We need your help!!

We just got word that we've been chosen to participate in an amazing grantmaking contest. The Gannett Foundation will be making HUGE project grants to 16 nonprofits across the US through "A Community Thrives." Our application has been accepted, and now we get to move on to the next round of the contest.. So here's the deal - we've gotta crowdfund to show that our community really believes in us! This is where YOU can make a difference. We've got 1 month to raise our goal of $6,000. Once we reach that goal, we'll officially be in the running to receive a grant between $25,000 and $100,000.

With this project, Contracommon will be able to offer a wider range of resources and in-house services to emerging artists at affordable rates, as well as expand our education program offerings. Through the creation of a Community Membership Program, we will be able to share our amenities and expertise with a wider community of creators. This program will give emerging artists the access to technology and equipment (such as wide format printers, art scanners, printmaking and engraving equipment, wood shop and darkroom facilities) which is vital, yet often cost-prohibitive, to an up-and-coming art career.
