Together, we did it!

We are completely blown away by our community’s generosity, and are thrilled to announce that thanks to you, our supporters, we reached our $24,000 end-of-year fundraising target!

On behalf of County Arts staff and Board of Directors, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who responded to our appeals this year – by giving to our 2024 end-of-year campaign, supporting the Artist Fund in the CAPE x County Arts raffle, contributing to our June 2024 Indigenous Voices Fund campaign, Youth Bursaries, and more. Your support means so much to us and – most importantly – to the artists and community members whose lives it will touch in 2025 and beyond.

We invite you to visit our virtual Donor Wall and Sponsor page where we recognize and celebrate our “village” – the wonderful supporters that make the County Arts world go ‘round.
