Community + Activism, Upstate Art + Culture

Your Hudson Valley Holiday Giving Guide: The Arts

December 8, 2021

The arts bring people together in ways few things can—and local organizations make that possible every day. Our non-profit arts organizations feed our community with culture, creativity, music, and so much more—and with recent government cuts, they need us now more than ever. As the year draws to a close, let’s show our love for the artists and organizations that enrich our lives by giving what we can.

Supporting local arts doesn’t have to be a big gesture. Even modest contributions help ensure creativity remains part of everyday life in our community. Your year-end, tax-deductible donation helps keep our cultural heartbeat strong and ensures these vital spaces continue to inspire us all.

Supporting the Arts

This winter, we’re honoring our local organizations, starting with those dedicated to the arts. When donating or gifting, you can also consider a tax-deductible donation in your friend’s, family member’s or business name.
