EEA HAPPENINGS:

JANUARY 2024

CHEERS TO THIS ARTS COMMUNITY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to donations big and small, including generous matches, we exceeded our year-end fundraiser goal!

The Give It Up for the Arts $90,000 in 90-Days Challenge was a lofty initiative to raise vital funds, but you came together to fiercely prove just how important the arts and East End Arts is to this community. We could not exist without the support of our donors.

THANK YOU!

Episode 4: Give It Up for the Arts

Vietnam veteran John Melillo gets candid on how art saved his life by helping him cope with his PTSD. Art therapy teacher Aude Verrier discusses the significance of nurturing the imagination at all stages of life and circumstances. Lastly, an anonymous letter from a struggling teen illustrates how EEA is playing a pinnacle role in her development.
