$1,200+ Raised for Giving Tuesday… THANK YOU!

Wow. We are BLOWN AWAY by the response to this year’s Giving Tuesday.

We began the day already energized by $450 in early donations; an incredible 90% of our first goal before Giving Tuesday even officially began!

Then, throughout the day on 12/02, supporters came together and helped us not only surpass our initial $500 goal, but also unlock our 2nd Goal: Raising an additional $500 community match. Together, you continued to raise funds to support our work and arts initiatives in the High Country. You truly showed up for us and for our creative community, and we cannot thank you enough.

To our donors: thank you for directly moving us toward our goals and believing in our mission and vision.
To everyone who shared, liked, or boosted our campaign: thank you for spreading the word and making this possible.
And to those who have stood by us: attended art classes, visited gallery exhibits and receptions, or participated in our events, THANK YOU. Donors, supporters, artists, and art lovers alike… YOU made this happen.

The money raised will go directly toward our operational costs, ensuring we can continue offering fun art experiences, events, and cultural celebrations across Boone, Blowing Rock, and Beyond.

Our Giving Tuesday campaign will remain live for the rest of the week for anyone who still wishes to contribute. And if you’re hoping to make an even bigger impact, we encourage you to consider becoming a Faithful Friend recurring supporter. One-time gifts spark the flame, recurring gifts keep it burning bright.

Once again, thank you. Truly. We cannot say it enough.
