DONATE & ATTEND: Support Art Boutiki: Overcome High Utility Bills https://lnkd.in/gVZWpByq Yes, Art Boutiki Music Hall is out looking for some help yet again. Beset by things like break-ins and failing air-conditioning, we are now faced with an insanely high utility bill that we can’t get past without some outside help. I am sure you have all noticed your utilities skyrocket over the past few months with no relief in sight, so hopefully you understand on a personal level. We have been making do by putting off paying a few things that were not so existential to our being open, but at this point, everything seems to be coming due all at once. So, a few things you can do to help us out are: 1) Come to a show. Seriously, if we were doing enough business to cover this stuff, we wouldn’t be coming to you hat-in-hand so often… https://artboutiki.com 2) Buy something nice for yourself at our online store. Or come in and get yourself something. 3) If you want to donate something every month, try our Patreon, which you can find a link to on our website. https://lnkd.in/gVZWpByq #art #music #culture #fundraising #ArtBoutiki

#SpotifyWrapped is BACK! That time of year when our feeds explode with colorful pie charts, top artists, and a very personal walk down musical memory lane. But Spotify Wrapped isn’t just a fun way to reflect. It’s a marketing masterpiece. It’s all about connection. Spotify takes cold, hard data and turns it into playful, shareable content that makes users think, “OMG, they get me.” And when people feel seen, they share. The result? Users doing the marketing for them. Charities, nonprofits, and social justice orgs - what if you could do the same? Instead of just sharing stats or facts, what if your data sparked joy, pride, or belonging? Volunteer hours, funds raised, lives impacted - your numbers have the power to tell incredible stories. So, while we all laugh at our cringe-worthy Wrapped results (don’t ask about mine), it’s worth thinking: how are you planning to wrap up your year on social?

Did you know that whenever there's a major global event such as the horrifying situations in the Ukraine and Gaza, donations to small charities fall off a cliff. When we see innocent children hurt by senseless war and violence, we all want to do what we can to help ease their pain and suffering. The frustrating thing for small charities like the Musical Youth Foundation (CHY#18624) is that the vulnerable children it is our mission to help have not gone away, their nightmare situations persist and often worsen as donations and grant funding get diverted to the more desperate looking situations plastered all over our social networks and across media channels. My dream is to help all children everywhere by giving them access to music lessons and instruments. Music education is proven to result in better outcomes and ultimately save the taxpayer millions by keeping children engaged in the education system. Without your backing, it is just one man’s crazy dream. With your help, thousands of children in Ireland and beyond will benefit from the power of music. Let us create a wave of goodwill and positivity by filling this world with love and music. Just €20. from you once a year can make all the difference. Donate now via https://lnkd.in/dt7CHCaX and together we can change the world a little bit for the better.   #musiceducationmatters #musicforpeace #musicchangeslives #guitarsforkids #childrenscharity #donateforchange #makeadifference #makeanimpact

Small gestures at scale make a big impact, so why not consider what you could donate to the Old Fire Station’s Big Give campaign. https://lnkd.in/eFJ5QeVH People need a place to feel welcome, express ideas and passions, think through changing times, or escape into art, dance or a show. These opportunities often don’t exist for people with fewer resources, and the combination of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis and stretched frontline services means there are many people who are not being represented or included in the arts. Through working more inclusively, over the next year the Old Fire Station in Oxford expects a footfall of 25,000 people in our building. Some will come to see a show or join a workshop, some will be moving on from homelessness or social crises, others will be volunteers, trainees or refugee women working for Damascus Rose Kitchen. Our work helps people feel part of a community and less isolated, make connections and build networks, improve wellbeing and a sense of purpose, feel heard, represented and valued.
