East Side Freedom Library

Support the Arts at East Side Freedom Library on Give to the Max Day!

At East Side Freedom Library, we believe in the transformative power of art to connect, heal, and inspire. Many families—especially those from BIPOC, immigrant, and refugee backgrounds—face challenges accessing arts education. With your support, we can bridge this gap to provide a safe, inclusive space for intergenerational storytelling and creativity. This year, we’re thrilled to partner with Speaking Out Collective to curate a series of family arts experiences. This initiative brings culturally rich, accessible art workshops to families. 

Speaking Out Collective brings a dynamic approach to this partnership, using storytelling to spark curiosity and empower individuals and communities. Through poetry, theatre, music, art, movement, and more, they help children and families reimagine their stories to impact change. By celebrating diversity and focusing on the joy of learning, Speaking Out Collective ensures that each participant—young or old—sees themselves reflected in the world. 

Together, we’re breaking down barriers, fostering pride, and building connections across communities.

Our goal is to raise $10,000. Your support will help the family arts experience thrive—strengthen family connections and create a more connected, vibrant community for all.

Will you join us on this journey by making a donation? 

Your donation will help us continue using art to bring people together and help build a stronger, more creative community! Whether it's $25, $50, or $100, every dollar counts!

Thank you for being part of our story.

With gratitude,

East Side Freedom Library and Speaking Out Collective
