SUMMARY:Josephy Center Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:The Josephy Center for Arts and Culture invites the public to a virtual fundraiser on April 15th at 6:30 p.m. in support of the Key to Our Future capital campaign to purchase and renovate the building.\n\n\n\nThe event\, hosted by special guest Andy Lindberg (actor and host of the podcast Kick Ass Oregon History)\, will include a short presentation about the campaign\, donor recognition\, testimonials from local artists and residents\, and prizes. The goal is to raise $50\,000 to be matched by MJ Murdock Charitable Trust in less than one hour!\n\n\n\n"This fundraiser is short and simple by design\," said Development Director\, Kellee Sheehy. "We've run this campaign on a very lean budget and have tried to maximize every donated dollar. Even though we can't offer a lot of frills and thrills\, we believe that Wallowa County residents will show up for this event and give just because they want to."\n\nLike many other events this year\, the center's virtual fundraiser format is in compliance with COVID-19 safety restrictions.  \n\n\n\n"The Josephy Center is a gathering place\; and\, as much as we'd love to fundraise with everyone under the same roof\, having a virtual event now means that we will have endless opportunities to gather safely in the future\," said Executive Director\, Cheryl Coughlan.\n\n\n\nLong-time library Director\, Rich Wandschneider\, relayed the importance of the capital campaign in this way:\n\n"The Josephy Center began as an idea in a borrowed building. Now the building is a place of joy and beauty that helps further our understanding of the past and celebrates all people from the Nez Perce who have lived here for thousands of years\, to the young people of Wallowa County finding their way with color and clay. Now the building can be ours and that idea can keep growing." \n\n\n\nAbout the Campaign\n\nThe Key to Our Future campaign is focused on making the Josephy Center a permanent home for arts and culture in Wallowa County\, as well as restoring and expanding the Center to elevate visitor experience and fit the growing needs of the community.\n\nThe campaign is set up in phases: Phase One focuses on the building purchase\, critical safety repairs and accessibility for all.  Phase Two focuses on the renovation and expansion of the building which will increase functionality\, accessibility and programming. \n\nTo participate in the fundraising event\, register online at www.josephy.org/capital-fundraiser or call (541) 432-0505. Registration is free of charge.
