We’re thrilled to announce that Refuge Art School is now officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization! 🎉 This milestone marks a new chapter in our journey, solidifying our commitment to providing a safe, equitable space where young artists can explore their creativity and thrive.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our community. A huge thank you goes to the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston (ABC) for guiding us through critical times. Your expertise and encouragement were instrumental during our Relocation and Renovation project.
We’re also deeply grateful to the Greater Lowell Community Foundation (GLCF) for their years of fiscal sponsorship. Your belief in our mission has been a cornerstone of our success. Special thanks to Howard Amidon for connecting us with GLCF and ABC—your support continues to make a lasting impact.
We’d like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Parker Foundation, whose generous funding covered half of our renovation costs. And to Susan Silk, thank you for your meaningful contribution in memory of your beloved husband, Jim Silk. His legacy now holds a cherished place in our space and hearts.
To our private donors, staff, interns, families, and volunteers—thank you for being the backbone of Refuge Art School. Your dedication and hard work over the past year have fueled our growth and allowed us to empower young artists to envision a brighter future.
As we celebrate this moment, we invite you to continue supporting our mission. Every contribution helps us expand opportunities for young artists and enrich our community through art. Donations can now be made through our new link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=BKMGNDSX9YB2S.
