lionheART Bridgeport is an art space in loving memory of my grandparents, Bonnie and Richard Bieder, opening October 2021. lionheART combines Bonnie's joy, laughter, and love of the arts with Richard's humility, honesty, and sense of justice. lionheART offers free gallery openings for Connecticut artists, free weekly painting sessions for children and adults, and a free arts & social justice library.
This fundraiser will help launch the art space. Funds will be used for:
- art materials (canvases, panels, brushes, and paints)
- 503©3 registration process
- membership dues to local arts/non-profit alliances
- promotion and advertising materials
- website development
- rent for the art space
