Make an
impact today
Cherry is re-defining community supported programs. Here’s how:
For the cost of 1 coffee per month, you - yes, YOU! - can help make the arts accessible.
Then you experience the perks for yourself.
Cherry Community Events advocates for the community, serves the community, and reinvests in the community. When you empower CCE from within the community, you are actively:
Allowing access to sound, welcoming event space
Helping spread the word about programs
Funding artists to deliver their big ideas in service to the community
Providing the basic materials that allow the events to reach everyone, regardless of cost
CCE coordinates funds to fuel exciting events. We believe every event is an opportunity for someone to experience something outside of themselves and connect to the collective around them, contrary to how we’re often encouraged to act — primarily as faceless consumers. We hope you agree.
Each of us is more than that; feeling, social, and valued community members with integrity who reinforce their values through gathering together and acting collectively.
Your support of CCE today actively disrupts the ways we’re used to experiencing events, reinforcing the need for change in order to promote broader, freer access to the arts and the community. You’re letting the world know that quality does not only come from the upper tiers of excellence presented to the highest paying patron, but from the heart. From us.
