Associates tour the current Nordic Heritage Museum exhibit, Imaging the Arctic. |
Led by Allison Kramer and Blanche Maxwell, the first order of business was to announce the winning team name: "The Art of Raising in the Rain." The Art is one of ten Associate teams, young professionals who learn about and advocate for local arts groups while raising over $450,000 a year.
It is early in the current ArtsFund campaign and this was an initial meeting. Each person talked about their personal connection to the arts that motivates them to volunteer for ArtsFund. They worked on fundraising skills and discussed their goals for the campaign, which of course include raising quite a bit more than the other nine teams!
The team also took a special "after-hours" tour of the Nordic Heritage Museum led by CEO Eric Nelson. The tour featured Imaging the Arctic, an interdisciplinary exhibit that explores the impact of climate change on West Greenland's ecology and culture.
