We know your dollars are hard-earned, but if you have a few to spare and want to honor this day of charitable giving, please consider donating to our #GivingTuesday2021 Campaign! Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. This year, every little bit helps us continue our work with local artists and community members. Make a donation of any amount and you'll be entered to win an art print by Barn artist @lexihannah.art Lexi Hannah. Make a donation of $25 or more and you'll be entered to win an @alex_h2o Alex Waters original painting. Winners will be announced on The Barn's social media on 12/31! AND we're so excited to announce that Albany Barn Board President Michael Lorka will be matching donations throughout the month of December, which will help your donation go even further in supporting our mission! We're so thankful for your support, and for all of our wonderful artists and makers who continue to help us live, work, and inspire AND make a place where creativity works. @electriccitybarn Link in Bio to Donate to our Giving Tuesday Campaign OR text BARNGIVING to 44321!
