Thank you for joining us last night at the 𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 Supporter Preview & Artist Celebration! ♡

We truly appreciate your encouragement of our work supporting emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers. With your generosity, we raised crucial funds for LACE’s operations and programming, which platforms artists and communities currently under attack including LGBTQ+, disabled, immigrant, and BIPOC individuals. With the dismantling of federal funding for the arts and humanities, support for LACE is as urgent and impactful as ever.
