Support the Arts Today
Planning for the Future of Arts Education
Support the Arts Now
ArtsBuild is committed to helping Chattanooga’s arts community during this difficult time. Local arts organizations and artists are working hard to adapt despite a cumulative total of $2 million in lost income since March. Please support ArtsBuild with a gift to the 2020 Annual Campaign to help sustain critical financial support needed to build a stronger community through the arts. The arts are essential to our lives and our economy.
2020 Annual Campaign Fund
While our Artist Emergency Fund is now closed to new applicants, we are still raising money to assist self-employed local artists. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, and you can still make a donation!
