This month, ACRE is raising $40k to support our 2025 Residency Program and year-round artist resources. With one week to go in this annual fund campaign, we want to share three pillars of our work that your contributions support: 👐Community Building: We bring people together. We work to expand access to creative experiences and foster an engaged and interconnected network of artists, alumni, and community partners. 💪Impactful Mobilizing and Organizing: We materialize ideas based on our collective dreams and realities. Through strategic alliances and mobilizing resources, we actively support artist-led initiatives grounded in liberation, mutual support, education, and community care. 🤝Cooperative Development: We invest in our leadership and the resilience of what we create together. We are committed to leading a sustainable, artist-led organization that embeds cooperative values and centers artist leadership. We are asking our supporters to give to our Annual Fund campaign this month; any amount has an impact on this collective effort. When you donate (at the link in bio), you’re helping build a resilient, artist-driven organization that is both a resource and a catalyst for artistic and community growth. (fb)

ACRE believes that investing in artists—investing in each other—is how we meet this moment. We have been steadfast in this pursuit since our founding. We know that when artists are supported, the future can be transformed. This May, we’re raising $40k to support ACRE’s 2025 Residency Program and year-round artist resources. If you believe in spaces that center artist leadership, cultivate creativity, and build resilient communities, then you believe in the mission of ACRE. For 15 years, this organization’s generative network and culture of reciprocity has held up the practices of countless artists. We’ve built this together and we can keep building with your help. Please join us this month in affirming that artists grow in community by donating to our annual fund campaign (link in bio). (fb)
