We did it!!! Thanks to the 87 friends who contributed to the Apprenticeship Program Campaign, we exceeded our $8,000 goal and raised an amazing $20,300! The impact of this generosity will span lifetimes, supporting the 19 pairs of talented 2014 Master Artists and Apprentices.
We would like to thank the many individuals who donated via our online fundraising campaign through Indiegogo. Through your efforts, ACTA raised over $8,800. ACTA is also thankful for the generous $8,000 contribution from Artivist Entertainment in support of this program. In addition, ACTA’s board, staff, and close friends combined to raise over $3,500 in memory of Howard L. Kitchener, father of our Executive Director Amy Kitchener.
This was a tremendous effort and we are grateful for the outpouring of support!
