Upcoming Fundraisers Will Support Youths, Artists

The holiday season is a time for giving and the Community Arts Network of Oneonta is unveiling fundraisers this November that directly give back to residents. The positive impact of arts and culture has resulted in the revitalization of towns and cities through increased tourism, employing artists and performers, enhancing property values, community pride, and so much more. In an effort to better support local artists and families, and to help revitalize our community, CANO will be launching the Opportunities for Artists Fund and Youth Arts Programming Initiative.

CANO will announce the Opportunities for Artists Fund at the 3rd Annual Postcard Exhibition Benefit on November 2, from 6-8 p.m., at the Wilber Mansion. This popular annual fundraiser is made possible by local and national artists who donate original 5x7 postcard-sized works of art. Postcards can be purchased for just $50.00. The event features hors d’oeuvres, a DJ, really cool art and even cooler artists! Fifty percent of the proceeds from this event will go toward the Opportunities for Artists Fund.
