Dear Community,

 

We are all adjusting to our new norms in the world of COVID-19 and re-defining our roles and how we can impact change and support community.  As a dancer and artist, I tend to turn to my passion as a resource to help others. I am the founder of VCBynum Arts and Education, my mission is to educate and empower communities through Dance and other art forms throughout in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.   

 

In 2020, I organized a virtual online event, Humanity: An Evolving Perspective as a fundraiser for local food security that also combined an avenue for local artists that were been impacted by COVID to contribute their talents and find work at a time when Covid-19 demanded us to social distance.   In 2021 we are producing again, and  we would like to assist Special Moments for Kids and an individual artist in need. 

 

I am reaching out to you to request financial support to help make this event possible.  Humanity-An Evolving Perspective will be presented on December 18th, 2021. 

 

Inspired by my past production of the 2005 Hurricane Relief Benefit and the dual pandemics of Covid-19 and systemic racism, a fellow artist Jamie Waliczek of Jerboa Dance and I felt compelled to action.  The goal of the Humanity series is to educate and enlighten our audience about important issues in our society while raising funds to help diverse communities in need.

 

Time is of the essence and I hope that you can support this hometown event which provides a lot of good for many. Please see our list of sponsors below. I would like to acknowledge them for their support of our efforts to uplift community through the arts.
