Help A Local Arts Group Win A Grant
Help Tucson Arts Activist Karen Lee-Falkenstrom win a grant from NAU.com
Lee-Falkenstrom is an award-wining performer who founded an organization that makes the communal art of taiko drumming accessible throughout southern Arizona. Never motivated by the dollar, Karen has brought taiko to every corner of the region through free performances and affordable classes. When urban renewal displaced dozens of local artists, Karen followed through on her mad idea that artists should own their studios,organizing investors to buy a 5,000 square foot warehouse. The Rhythm Industry Performance Factory has since become one of only a handful of artist-owned incubator spaces in the country.

Click the link below to vote:
You need to sign in and make an account to vote, but it only requires a name and an email.
The best way I found to vote is to create an account, stay logged in, and then come back here and hit the link again. The process of creating an account navigates you away from the voting page and its a bit hard to find again.
It took me a total of 2 minutes and could bring much needed arts education dollars to Tucson!
