Focus on Community
this Holiday Season!

Dear Friends of the Arts,

During the past few weeks, we hope that you have received and enjoyed reading quotes from our established artists as well as our young, emerging students about the invaluable support that East End Arts has given them in the pursuit of their passions. From the very young to our long-time supporters, East End Arts provides the structure these artists need to truly blossom.

Please support our work today by pledging your support to our Annual Appeal. This 100% tax-deductible gift supports our operations and allows us to continue to bring the quality programming to the community that you have come to expect.

We depend on your support to help us carry on our mission to build and enrich our community through the arts by way of education, support, advocacy, and inspiration.

P.S. A personal note from Patricia Cruso:

I have always purposely chosen to live in arts-rich communities because I believe the arts are fundamental to a healthy community. In the three years my husband and I searched the North Fork for a home we returned repeatedly to Riverhead. During that time, even with the closing of businesses on Main Street, we saw that East End Arts' buildings in their park-like setting remained an anchor in the district, and learned that EEA has been a sure and steady entity in the town for many years. So with a new-found appreciation for the North Fork, the presence of a vibrant arts council and a belief in the renaissance of its business district, we moved to Riverhead. Since becoming residents we have enjoyed many EEA sponsored events such as Jazz on the Vine, gallery shows and Harvest Gospel concerts and I have served on the annual fundraiser committee.

Thank you to all who have supported our 2013 Annual Appeal already!
