Dear Pittsburgh Arts Community and Lovers of the Arts,

During this time of change, we write to you with care and hope that you are well. As we face many new changes in our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask ourselves how can we support each other and continue to share the life-affirming power of art with those who have so generously supported us over the years?

We are thrilled to announce Hotline Ring, a virtual fundraiser lead by the Kelly Strayhorn Theater, that brings together our aligned missions and our supporters to create a spectacular event as an opportunity for giving that will create an enormous impact on our region. Hotline Ring will raise money to support each participating organization while showcasing a dynamic representation of regional artists, projects, and programs.

Our vision is for a future where we all operate from a space of abundance and celebrate shared resources by making the arts an entirely inclusive experience through affordability, multiple forms of access, a range of aesthetics, outreach, and education. By working together we can showcase the incredible arts that Pittsburgh has to offer! As organizations in community with or led by queer, Black, people of color it is in this space that unity draws us together to collectively face this time that is redefining our experiences.

Each of our organizations center art and an expansive community of artists and audiences as both a means and a vision for more justice throughout the Pittsburgh region. We come together as a way to weave our values, our care, and our vision for the future. Part of our vision for the future is to end the disproportionate ways that resources are distributed in our city, therefore, we are committed to providing Black femme led organizations with a greater portion of our shared fundraising as an explicit way to address this inequity. Instead of only considering the bottom line of each individual organization this fundraising effort will create shared resources that will benefit the interdependence of all of us.

As arts organizations, we are so encouraged by the relationships we have cultivated as institutions, individual artists, and independent collectives. We have had the great fortune of working together to support each other, collaborate on projects, and mentor one another in many different ways.

We are experiencing the impacts of the pandemic as individuals and organizations. Our planning, our markers of success, our funding, and our daily operations are interrupted – creating space for all of us to evaluate how we continue to achieve our missions. Together, we are experiencing art as a means for our spirits to survive unknown and painful times.

We partner and work together because art, creativity and culture reach forward and backward to affirm our lives and to nurture the well-being of our communities.

Please join us in financially supporting, Hotline Ring, this significant event on July 16, 2020 from 5:00pm-Midnight. The next few pages of this deck offer more information about participating organizations as well as how YOU and YOUR organization can be a sponsoring partner for this premiere event.

We are filled with gratitude for all of the ways that you show up for us, we are here because of you and we look forward to continuing to create with you.

With abundant and joyful gratitude,
