Announcing our Monthly-Giving Fundraising Campaign!

November 27, 2014

We are pleased to announce our Monthly-Giving Fundraising Campaign for Semi-Public 半公開, a 10-year rotating program of public art that responds to the intensive change happening in Chinatown and adjacent communities. We are in the last phase of fundraising and need to raise $800 in monthly donations to complete our fundraising needs. Your ongoing monthly contribution will help us cover 25% of the total program budget per year. Visit our campaign website for more information on Semi-Public 半公開 and donor benefits. Be a part of the project by supporting us – any amount helps!
