WE NEED YOUR HELP -
APG IS AT A FINANCIAL CROSSROADS
|
Do you love APG? Like us? Appreciate the opportunities we offer you? Well, if so, please listen up. We need your help! APG is at a financial crossroads. We have lost some of our major donors, those whose huge contributions have enabled us to function year after year. The good news is that we have some potential new major sponsors lined up. But in order for them to consider us a viable recipient of their generosity, we must show that we have the commitment and support of our base membership (over and above membership and entry fees). This fall we're kicking off our first major membership fundraising drive, and you'll hear more about it in the weeks to come. In the meanwhile, though, please help us get off to an early start. Just click the DONATE button below, and give as generously as you can. The Atlanta art scene would not be the same without APG.
