Help Us Save Kaleido Festival - $50,000 Needed!

Arts on the Ave charity is excited to present the 18th Kaleido Family Arts Festival on September 15-17, 2023. However, this year, our beloved festival is facing a challenge. Our funding has fallen short, and we're calling on you to help us overcome this hurdle and bring the magic to life.

Kaleido is a festival for everyone, with no barriers to entry. There's no gate, no lock, and no tickets needed—just a pure, unfiltered celebration of community and art. Nestled within the heart of the Alberta Avenue district (92-95 Street & 118 Avenue), this annual celebration is more than just a gathering—it's a beacon of hope dedicated to rebuilding and fortifying our core community.

Our Challenge:

The stage is set, and the artists are ready, but our funds have taken a hit. We find ourselves facing a shortfall of $50,000 for this year's festival. These funds are crucial to pay the talented artists and ensure the event's programming is as captivating as ever.

The festival's impact goes beyond the art—it uplifts our community. As we celebrate together, connections are formed, hearts are opened, and a sense of unity blossoms. But we need your support to keep this tradition alive.

How You Can Make a Difference:

Every dollar counts. A $10, $15, or $20 donation might seem small, but combined can create a powerful wave of change. Your contribution will directly fund artists' participation and event programming, ensuring the festival's spirit remains strong.

Let's rally together to save the Kaleido Family Arts Festival! With your support, we can bridge the funding gap and continue to provide a platform for artists to shine, for our community to thrive, and for creativity to flourish.
