What Is It?
GOWANATHON 2 is Spoke the Hub’s latest collaborative fundraising experiment, which emerged from last year’s successful GOWANATHON event, Spoke the Hub’s first 12 hour “art-a-thon” which raised $18,000 of matching funds to purchase and install a new HVAC in Spoke’s penthouse theater in the Gowanus Arts Building on Douglass Street. This year’s expanded weekend event will not only help Spoke the Hub continue to make capital improvements in all our community arts spaces, shared by legions of local dancers, actors, musicians, teachers and martial artists, but it will also help raise funds for ALL the participating groups and their own pet projects as well. In this way, a rising tide again raises all ships and everyone benefits — you, our community who comes here for classes, performances, studio tours, and other celebrations; the artists who rehearse, perform, teach and create in our spaces; and Spoke the Hub. Your GOWANATHON donations help us serve you, the artists, and the greater Brooklyn community better!
So What Do I Do Now?
Check out the ARTISTS page and find your favorite group’s name, then click on their name to get information about their event or show. Make a donation by clicking on the Pay Pal button, then follow the prompts. Please print out your receipt and bring it with you to the GOWANATHON as this is your “ticket” to get into the GOWANATHON event of your choice*. Your dollars will go toward the specific artist or group you are supporting, as well as helping to improve Spoke the Hub’s community spaces for all to enjoy.
And if you are feeling particularly flush, altruistic and energetic , splurge on a GOWANATHON FUN PASS, which will get you into any and all events all weekend long!
GOWANUS ARTS is located at 295 Douglass Street, between 3rd & 4th Avenues in Brooklyn. Most activities will take place in Spoke the Hub’s spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floor. For further information, please contact our office at: 718.408-3234 www.spokethehub.org.
