ART Station Financial Update
As many ART Station patrons are already aware, ART Station has been
experiencing a financial crisis as a result of the current recession. Over 70%
of ART Station’s corporate and foundation support has been lost.
It was announced in early February of 2010 that if ART Station did not raise
$150,000 before the end of April that we would be temporary closing down.
Because of the response from the community, ART Station was able to reach that
financial goal but, financial assistance is still needed in order to continue
operations. Rusty McKellar, chair of the ART Station Board of Trustees said “We
were able to raise the funds needed to meet our financial obligations through
June, but we still need donations in order to continue to operate.”
ART Station's financial situation has been featured on WSB-TV, The Atlanta
Journal Constitution, The Champion, The DeKalb Neighbor as
well as the local community paper, The Smoke Signal.
According to David
Thomas, President and Artistic Director of ART Station, "ART Station has been an
anchor in the community for 24 years and we are hopeful that individuals will
make a financial donation to support our cause. We have been amazed at the
response from local community groups and organizations that have made donations
to ART Station. We are in much better financial shape that we were in February,
but we still have to continue to raise private donations in order to meet our
upcoming financial obligations.”
Please consider a contribution to ART Station.
