Our 2026 Summer T-Shirt Drive is here!
The Cordial Eye is home to many exciting and vibrant programs- Creative Futures, In-Betweener Days, the Artist Space Studios, Creative Care- that are the beating heart of our creative community. We are lucky to have several INCREDIBLE funding partners that help keep these programs high-quality, accessible, and consistent. These partners help fund things like materials, Teaching Artist pay and training, and subsidizing the costs of our camps and studio spaces.
However, did you know that there are lots of other very unglamorous, but extremely important costs that keep TCE running smoothly and accessibly for everyone? We’re talking about toilet paper, the internet bill, our annual audit fees, our monthly dumpster fees. These things are hard to fundraise for, but really impact TCE’s ability to survive and thrive. We depend on the generosity of our community, particularly our monthly donors, to help us attend to these needs.
To make this sort of un-fun funding need a bit more fun (say that 10x fast), we are excited to announce our 2026 Monthly Donor Drive T-Shirt! You can get this one-of-a-kind shirt, based on the ICONIC TCE mermaid mural, created by artist Gabe Ribeiro, in 3 ways:
Become a monthly donor at a rate of at least $20/month
Already a monthly donor, but donating less than $20/month? Up it to $20 or more!
Already donating more than $20/month? You can purchase the shirt at an at-cost rate of $15, as our thank you for your continued support.
Our 2026 Monthly Donor Drive will go from July 6-July 20th. After that, the shirt will be available at our artist gift shop for $38+tax.
An investment in the arts is an investment in the community.
We are on a mission of liberation, transformation, and community care through the arts; your partnership and solidarity can make this vision a reality. Your support makes it possible for us to deliver programming to our community that is innovative, meaningful, and accessible to all who want to participate.
In these uncertain times, we rely on the ongoing support of community members to keep The Cordial Eye operational. Thank you for considering us.
Keeping the arts financially accessible is important to us.
Engagement with creative life is incredibly important to community and individual wellbeing. Your donations make sure there is room in our budget for us to participate in MassCultural Council’s Card to Culture Program which offers discounts to classes and events for EBT and Connector Care cardholders.
Thank you to our sponsors
