Update Regarding Harcourt House Artist Run Centre
Statement from the Board of Directors of Where Edmonton Community Artists Network (W.E.C.A.N.) Society and the Management of Harcourt House Artist Run Centre.
We at Harcourt House are extremely grateful to everyone who helped us reach our $70k fundraising goal on GoFundMe.
Our Fundraising Campaign in Support of the Purchase of Harcourt House Buildings Still Continues!
We at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre are extremely grateful for the remarkable support offered during our GoFundMe and #Giving Tuesday Campaigns toward reaching our $70K fundraising goal on the GoFundMe platform.
This plateau has been reached; we are increasing our goal to $100,000.00!
Where Edmonton Community Artists Network (W.E.C.A.N.) Society/Harcourt House Artist Run Centre must raise a total of 3.5 million dollars by November 30, 2024 to purchase the Harcourt House Buildings to make this home of 36-years permanent, stable, and sustainable.
The majority of the money that is needed to purchase Harcourt House will come from Government and major philanthropic contributors, we at Harcourt House are most encouraged by our continued conversations with all levels of government, the corporate sector, private foundations, local philanthropists, and by our fundraising endeavours.
Your help is still needed, vitally important, and your contribution to the Harcourt House GoFundMe campaign does make a difference for a positive future no matter what amount you contribute.
In 2023, the Society has received two significant donations of $100,000 each. One from the Calgary-based Flanagan Foundation, and one from an Anonymous Donor outside of Edmonton. These generous contributions are in recognition of the role Harcourt House Artist Run Centre has played for 36 years in the cultural landscape of Alberta and continues to play today.
The acquisition of the buildings and associated land currently inhabited by the Harcourt House Artist Run Centre opens up tremendous opportunities for further growth and enhancement of the visual arts in Alberta. Spaces like Harcourt House Artist Run Centre are vital to artists staying in Alberta and contributing to the cultural and economic vibrancy of our Province and cities.
In the meantime, please direct people to our GoFundMe Fundraiser in support of the Harcourt House Artist Run Centre Endurable Fund/Acquisition of the Harcourt House Property.
Please know that every penny helps and is appreciated in our quest to secure ownership of Harcourt House and that your donations are absolutely necessary to achieve our ultimate goal.
With your support today, there will be Harcourt House for tomorrow!
With profound thanks and gratitude,
The Board and Management of W.E.C.A.N. Society/Harcourt House Artist Run Centre
