Bethel Arts Fundraises for Public Sculpture Installation

There will be a movie fundraiser at Bethel Cinema on April 13.

As you may know, we are in the process of raising funds for a public sculpture installation. But, if you are unfamiliar with our current project...

We received a $5,000 grant from the state of CT and are seeking additional funding to install 10 large scale sculptures around the municipal center and Library. At this point we are not quite halfway to reaching our goal in advance of our opening on May 7.

Below are some ways you can help support and spread the word about the effort. It's so very important that we attend these events and do all we can to spread the word via email, word of mouth and through social media. This is truly a turning point for Bethel Arts and we really need your help. We'd appreciate if you could take just a minute to share one of our events on facebook, (and of course attend our fundraisers as well). We know you're all very busy these days, so we truly appreciate your help in spreading the word. This is a rare opportunity to shape our town and become a part of something big in Bethel's community.

Again, you are all very important to the success of our organization and this project, so I thank you in advance for helping in any way possible.
