Dear Friends,

I'm producing a series of evenings named Parlor Arts. These events blend the power of the Arts with the spirit of giving back. Held at a beautiful Baltimore speakeasy, these events are free to the public and designed to inspire connection and action.

Our first event, in January, was a great success. The artists – musicians, actors, drag performers – donated their talents, filling the room with energy and purpose. A spokesperson from The National Network of Abortion Funds shared information on their vital work, and together, we raised nearly $1,400 for the organization. (See a glimpse of the event in the video!)

We're building on that momentum. This spring, we'll turn our attention to immigration work, followed by education in the summer, and the LGBTQ+ community in the fall.

I am aware these are difficult times with so many unknowns. That's why I believe these events are more important than ever. I'm seeking your support to provide fair compensation for the incredible artists who share their gifts. By investing in them, we empower their work to connect us and drive positive change. Your generosity ensures that art continues to inspire us to connect and give back to the causes that matter most.

I believe in the power of the arts, the importance of community, and the transformative impact of giving. Together, we can create hope and a positive future.

Thank you for your time and any support you can offer.

With love,

Julia
