Donate to Evanston by Donating to Evanston Made

We’re excited to collaborate with letterpress artist Ben Blount on a commemorative, call- to-action poster that drives our key message home - Artists Are Essential! We believe that art is what connects us and makes us human, and is the social fabric we need to support in our community. Can you imagine where you would be without ART in your life!? We envision that these posters will start popping up in every window across Evanston.

Donate $50 or more to Evanston Made to receive this poster as a gift of gratitude for supporting our mission - Connecting Evanston Arts and Artists to the Public.
