PREVIOUS FUNDRAISERS S.O.S. - Red Hook: About our Initiative During the pandemic, we offered CayAC members the option to sponsor a young artist through an initiative we called “SOS”, or Sponsor One Student-Artist. While our fundraisers have always focused on TCFA and our local community, given current events, we felt compelled to look beyond our immediate surroundings. For this pilot program, we partnered with “The Red Hook Neighborhood School” (PS 676) in Brooklyn. As result of this initiative, twenty-two Red Hook students (grades 1-5) received a tote bag of art materials. These art bags contained a 30-day challenge from CayAC with a list of prompts and encouragement to make at least one work of art a day. Supplies included watercolor kits, colored pencils, markers pastels, multi-media paper and more.

The 2500 sq. ft. space with thirty-foot ceilings, three pairs of triple-hung windows, a stage and balcony, makes for a premier location for art exhibitions and we have made many much-needed improvements for this purpose. Our first joint fundraiser, the Pedestal Project, resulted in fourteen new pedestals. Next we helped replace the beaverboard on the exhibition walls with sheet rock and, thanks to a grant from the Delavan Foundation, we added a new all-in-one lighting and hanging system around the room. We also participated in TCFA's chair-a-thon which resulted in 150 brand-new cushioned chairs and last year we gave to the cause of refinishing the wooden floors. The completion of these projects signalled the beginning of year round art exhibitions in the Conservatory! -------------------- To donate to the Cayuga Arts Collective, please make your tax-deductible check payable to TCFA-CayAC and mail to: Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts Attn: CayAC P.O.
