FUNDRAISER UPDATE BELOW:
Over the past 20 years, Art in the Loft has become not only a premier arts center and event venue, but one of Northeast Michigan’s most active community partners. Thursday, November 11th was to be a celebration of our 20th anniversary and an important fundraiser for the power of the art and outreach in the Alpena community!
Because of the rise in local Covid-19 cases, our Board of Directors decided that the health and safety of its patrons and supporters were our greatest priority. Thus, we are moving the November 11th in-person gathering to an online platform. No one is more brokenhearted than the team of staff and volunteers who have planned for months to create the memorable experience that people have come to expect from Art in the Loft.
Despite this set back, we believe in and have faith in the continued support Art in the Loft has received from our community. Our mission of making the arts accessible to EVERYONE, is the same today as it was 20 years ago. This wouldn’t be possible without the support of you and we hope we can count on you for that support in our online fundraiser.
All ticket sales will be refunded. However, if you wish you do have the option to use this refund as a credit in the auction or you can donate it to our much-needed special appeal, the Arts & Alzheimer’s Program. The online auction will still begin on November 11th and you will be getting a follow-up email very soon as to how to register to bid on some amazing items and unique experiences! We are so excited and cannot wait to share this exclusive bidding opportunity with you!
Thank you for your understanding in this matter and for the continued support of Art in the Loft.
Sincerely,
Art in the Loft Board of Directors & Justin Christensen-Cooper, Executive Director
