$5,000 Goal

Loneliness is an epidemic, especially for older adults - and it is, quite literally, lethal.

But the Arts can help.

ArtsConnect Virginia (formerly Tidewater Arts Outreach) leverages the healing power of the arts to bring joy, enhance well-being, and facilitate lifelong learning for older and isolated adults. Since its founding in 2004, ArtsConnect has produced over 7,800 hours of arts outreach programs with over 280 partner agencies throughout the Hampton Roads MSA. These programs served over 187,000 participants. 

Research indicates 82% of adults perceive a link between arts engagement and connectedness. Over 91% of ArtsConnect's surveys report benefits such as "enjoyed positive social interactions", "better mood", and "felt calmer", and "felt accomplished/confident" after experiencing our programs.

When you give to ArtsConnect Virginia, you bring joy, you combat loneliness, and you invest in a life well-lived for your fellow human beings.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your generosity!
