We are so grateful for your new and continued support of the Community Arts Partnership during this difficult time. We understand that we have probably all taken a financial hit and you are worried about the health and safety of your families. We too are feeling these burdens.

What is the Advocates Circle?
The Community Arts Partnership has a proud history of administering quality programing and the time is right for this organization to do more. There are currently new opportunities, partnerships and collaborations being developed - and that's why we created the Advocates Circle.
Becoming a member of the Advocates Circle requires a pledge of (a minimum of) $300 a year for three years. So far, about 30 of our friends and neighbors stepped forward to make such a pledge!
We invite you to become part of the Circle, thereby providing CAP with the resources needed to take on these important additional responsibilities:
-
Working with local, state and national representatives to advocate effectively for Tompkins County's cultural institutions and opportunities.
-
Bring stakeholders together to define areas of mutual interest and develop clear messages and methods to advance those interests with a unified voice.
-
Enrich local arts and cultural programs and projects through research and the development of sources of significant support from outside of Tompkins County.
Benefits Provided Advocacy Members Include:
-
Invitation to CAP's annual celebration.
-
Kickoff "first dibs" reception for our annual CAP-a-Palooza Art Sale Extraordinaire.
-
Monthly e-mail updates and news from CAP Director Megan Barber.
