An Entry About the Sponsors of Resonance: Speaking for the Arts

The past three weeks have vanished in a storm of preparation for the exhibit. There was the interview on BCTV, purchasing the last of the materials, putting the finishing touches on all of the written material, and securing our sponsors. This post is about those sponsor organizations that have allowed me to do this great big exhibit with Angela.

Our sponsors are all locally owned businesses that reflect the values that Angela and I hope to celebrate with this exhibit. I'm talking abut the values of civic engagement, generosity, and communication.

For example, Citadel is a credit union—as a customer with as little as five dollars in a savings account, you are a member of this financial institution, and you have a say in important decisions. Can a financial institution reflect democracy? It can if it’s a credit union. citadelbanking.com

E.G. Landis Jewelers has been a part of our area’s economy for sixty years, and their financial support was generous and helpful. eglandisjewelers.com

Everything Postal and Printing supported us by printing a few critical banners and posters. everythingpostal.com

Penn Valley Construction provided us with a donation, and they have provided the region with highly respected masonry work for over thirty years. They can be reached at 610-896-7910.

A.D. Moyer Lumber, a pillar of a community business for decades, donated some critical materials for our panels. And, I recently learned from a trusted source that their Gilbertsville location helped out a neighbor who was building a wheelchair ramp. admoyer.com

And of course, the marvelous Studio B donated their space so that the entire region could express their feelings about art in their lives. studiobbb.org

The Manatawny Creek Winery is even helping us! Every community needs to relax now and then, no? manatawnycreekwinery.com

I guess what I'm trying to do here, is to say the following:

Making art is a tough business, and supporting it doesn’t make you any money. These organizations were generous, but they can’t afford to be Santa Claus all the time. Please take the time to consider using one of these great organizations for one of your future endeavors.
