Thank You, Crowdfunders!

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Patronicity campaign, shared our message, and supported us along the way.

We are so grateful to each of you for your time and investments in the Lions & Rabbits Center for the Arts.

We reached our goal of raising more than $50,000, and we are extraordinarily grateful for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's generous matching grant, which doubles that amount.

Our crowdfunding campaign is about more than just raising money.

We've had the opportunity to engage with donors, collaborators, and community members like you, who want to make an impact through public art.

Through all our ongoing fundraising efforts, we aim to connect with new people and build relationships centered on creating meaningful spaces through public art and exciting experiences. The support we received through your contributions proves that our vision resonates with our Grand Rapids community, giving us the encouragement we need to continue working toward our ambitious goals.

We create our neighborhood together.

Every mural we paint brings new life to our city's walls - but more than that, it brings new life to the people who live in our community. They are a celebration of the local artists who created this art and an homage to the communities it adorns.

These public arts initiatives bring color to our city, but they also help us remember where we've been and inspire us to take part in shaping its future. These murals serve as a reminder that Grand Rapids is our home, and we need to take every opportunity we can to better ourselves, our neighbors, and our community.

Our accomplishments are not ours alone.

Each public artwork we install, every inspiring event we organize, and every opportunity we get to share our voices with the world is a true testament to your support.

Without your enthusiasm for public art, without your dedication to grassroots efforts that unite artists and their community, and without your passion for a more accessible and inclusive Grand Rapids, we wouldn't be the organization that we are today.

We are tremendously grateful for the outpouring of generosity we've received this year and for the opportunities it has allowed us to create.

Your heart is what brings us together and keeps us going.

We want to thank you for being our collaborators, our crowdfunders, and our friends. We want to thank you for believing in us and our mission.

We can't wait to share more of our work with you! We have big plans for 2022, and we're excited to keep you involved in our process.

Thank you for being part of our community!
