WEstobou NEEDs YOU
Westobou is urgently seeking new anchor funding and a permanent facility to secure its future. Without it, current funds are expected to run out by mid-2026.
What do we need?
$200,000 annually in anchor funding to replace loss of Porter Fleming funds
A building with space for artist studios, exhibitions and community space under one roof
A larger staff to facilitate the growth and sustainability of our organization
“After the immense loss of our anchor funding last year, we are facing serious financial challenges. But we are not backing down. With your help, we are determined not just to survive—but to reimagine, rebuild, and thrive” says Westobou Leadership.
We believe Augusta deserves a dynamic contemporary art center: one that offers studio spaces, cutting-edge exhibitions, and immersive experiences all under one roof. This vision can become a reality, but only with your support. Contact Executive Director, Matt Porter, at matt@westobou.org to discuss ways to support.
