It's the last day to help us win $1000 from our fiscal agent .atlas !!!

Every donation we receive by the end of the day today is an entry. That means even if you donate just $1, that counts as a whole entry! The more donations we receive the bigger the chance we have at winning a $1000 grant!

We are so grateful to everyone who has helped so far! It really shows how much our community believes in what we do ❤️

We are on day two of our Spring Match Campaign with our fiscal sponsor .atlas and we are so thrilled to share that we have secured 20 entries into the raffle to win $1000! And we raised $385 along the way. We are so grateful to all the folks who have given us extra dollars towards our mission.

Your support directly impacts all the humans in these photos. This is just a small sampling of our current members, 10 out of 40 of them to be exact! Artists. Innovators. Builders. Dreamers. Your Neighbors. All deserving of a space to create that is affordable and build on community power.

Let’s show them the power of collective action. Whether it’s $1 or $100, you’re helping us keep the momentum going for the next 12 years and beyond. Can we reach 40 donors by the end of the day to honor the 40 members we have in the collective?

How does the Spring Match Campaign work?
Our fiscal sponsor is holding a raffle, and the rules are perfect for a community like ours: Every single donation—no matter the size—counts as an entry for us to win a $1,000 grant.

- It’s not about the dollar amount; it’s about the volume of support.
- Your $1 contribution is a "vote" for local culture.
- If we win, that $1,000 goes straight into the tools, space, and programming that keeps this vibrant community humming.

Your $1 entry could be the one that secures us $1000!

Help us win $1,000!!!

This week our fiscal sponsor .atlas is giving away $1000 to 20 lucky organizations. But we need your help!

Every single person who makes a donation between May 4th thru the 8th earns us an entry to win. Here's the cool part: The amount you give doesn't matter - it's the number of donors that counts!

That means you can give $1, $5, or $10 (I mean we would humbly accept more if you can 🥰) whatever amount that makes sense to you. And if you do it by end of the day on Friday, your donation could be the ticket that secures us $1,000.

If all of our followers gave us $1 we would have 3,000 entries!!

What would $1,000 do for an artist collective like ours?

✨ Pay for 1 year of Shared Studio membership for 2 artists in need!
✨ Pay for staff to work Makers on Main for 10 months.
✨ Pay for utilities for 1 month
✨ Keep our membership rates affordable and accessible year round
✨ Help us buy our building (more on that soon 👀)
✨ And so much more!

We are endlessly grateful for how this community is so committed to grassroots arts organizations. Without you and your support, none of this is possible.
