Gallery 263 Launches Kickstarter Campaign
Gallery 263 started a Kickstarter campaign to continue their mission of promoting the arts in their Cambridge community. The exhibition space and performance venue is not only “dedicated to fostering public engagement, enrichment, and exchange,” but to “empower artists and nurture innovation.” Their many programs include artist residencies, yoga, stand-up comedy, and art exhibits.
Gallery 263 aims to raise ten thousand dollars to increase their reach on the community. The funds would allow them to add more programs, help more artists, and increase their own presence in the community.
