LET’S BUILD, TOGETHER.

Fund the Movement

Non-Profit Program Fund

Resource the BLDG FUND as it rolls out the nonprofit arm of its work through two new initiatives, Artists’ Bloc and Source/Material. Designed in direct response to our 2025 Artists’ Needs Assessment, these programs address an ecosystem-wide stifling of creative expression and growth by isolation, limited resources, and systemic barriers to arts access and education. Your generous, tax-free donation through our fiscal sponsor, The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, will support:

  • Subsidized Artists’ Bloc Memberships

  • Acquisitions for SOURCE/MATERIAL’s Resource Library

  • Professional Development Workshopss

  • Curated Networking Events & Community Engagement Opportunities

  • Art Library & Lending

  • Exhibition & Program Opportunities

  • A CT Artist Directory, Virtual Community & Resource/Opportunities List
