We can’t say it enough: ENORMOUS THANKS to everyone who supported Upstream Arts on Give to the Max Day and those who have mailed or dropped off gifts!

To date, we’ve raised $5,292 toward our goal of $15,000 by December 31. We’re more than a third of the way there – amazing!
As you know, Give to the Max Day also marked the birthday of Henry Brown, star of our 2014 Annual Report illustrated by Teaching Artist Masa Kawahara. We have a brand new video to share, introducing both Henry and Masa, and showing Henry’s reaction to the Annual Report! It also includes some special thanks (including a “Thank You Handshake”!) from Henry and Masa for you. Click here to watch.
We still have $9,708 to raise before December 31 in order to meet our $15,000 year-end goal. If you haven’t given to Upstream Arts yet this fall, please consider chipping in now! Your support will ensure more aspiring artists like Henry Brown, young people like our participants at the Milwaukee JCC, and adults at day programs like MSS can access and thrive in our high-quality, curriculum-based, multidisciplinary programs, taught by some of the Twin Cities’ most accomplished professional artists.
You can always donate online at GiveMN.org, call (612) 331-4584 to make a gift by phone, or mail checks to our office at 3501 Chicago Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55403.
Thank you so much for your partnership!
