DoMore24 Fundraising Campaign begins Thursday, March 7, 6pm - Friday, March 8, 6pm. Funds donated to the Studios@ link will go towards enhancing studio@ artists' experience (i.e. improving security in the back parking lot.) There are certain stretch goals and hours that can increase our chances of success. It's not only about the money raised but the number of unique donors.
