Why am I asking you to support Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center?

It can change your life. I'm not exaggerating...my affiliation with the people and activities there has done that for me. I walked into their beautiful studios nearly five years ago and felt lightening strike. Since then, I've been steadily transforming my life to work fulltime in the arts.

Now, the transformation for you may not be as drastic, but I can promise you one thing: if you expose yourself to the power of something amazing, you will be moved. Whether it's singing lessons, taking an improv class, a trail ride on horseback, or a tennis lesson with a real pro - the magic is in the doing and being open to what is possible.

Instead of saying, "no, I couldn't possibly make room for that wonderful thing in my life...or I couldn't possibly have that," what would happen if you say "yes," just a little bit?

Helping me help Pyramid Atlantic is a small "yes" toward going for what we all want in life: to feel alive, to be fully engaged, to pursue what truly moves us, and to be happy.

Any small amount you can give would help. All proceeds go dircectly to Pyramid Atlantic to support programming such as the biannual book arts fair, artist residencies, outreach in public schools, and studio maintenance.

As an incentive, you will receive the following goodies from me, based on your giving level:
