While 2019 has ended there is still time to contribute to our Annual Appeal. NBO is an inclusive community of makers and enthusiasts whose purpose is to promote awareness, inspire creativity, and foster appreciation for the heritage and artistry of basketry. With your support, we can continue to create exciting projects and opportunities.
Earned revenue and memberships don’t cover the total cost. We rely on donations from generous supporters like you help us cover the additional 15% of our budget. We are well on our way to our goal of $25,000.
Here are a few ways we continue to put your donations to work:
Making Basketry+ a comprehensive publication by bringing you a diverse selection of featured artists, museum collections, and inspiring people.
Producing our second biennial Members in Print in the Summer 2020 issue of Basketry+, with Josephine Stealey as juror and the theme of Pattern and Texture.
Working on our first Strategic Plan with graduate students in their Capstone Project at the University of Missouri.
Continuing our branding work. In 2019 we unveiled our new logo and updated our magazine. In 2020 in we will focus on our website.
Striving to make sure NBO is welcoming to everyone. Whatever your background or experience, there is room in NBO for you. We want to support your passion for the art and craft of basketry.
When you support NBO you become an important part of our team along with board and staff. We are counting on you this year to help us with our work. There is still time to make your gift today!
featured artists, museum collections, and inspiring people.
