Tis' The Season To Be Thankful & Give A Little If You Can: We Suggest Phoebe Legere's Arts Education Nonprofit


Yes! This is the season of giving to those less fortunate! We are sharing the Facebook post from the EventHampton Account. The group covers happenings, history & more on the eastern end of Long Island, NY known as "The Hamptons."

Read what they had to say about Phoebe Legere's arts education nonprofit Foundation for New American Art: (it's easy to donate and no amount is too small!)

This is an organization we can all get behind during this season of thanksgiving and holiday celebration! Please consider supporting The Foundation for New American Art (FNAA), a nonprofit 501c3, founded by multidisciplinary artist Phoebe Legere.
Phoebe is one of our favorite artists and musicians and we've been fortunate to have her here for many seasons holding court at Bobby Van's, Stephen Talkhouse and fabulous events, parties and happenings.
Phoebe recognized a dire need to provide arts education programs to children living in low-income, underserved communities. Public schools in these districts suffer from having very low or absolutely no budgets for art/music/dance & theater curriculum.

Phoebe Legere’s FNAA provides after-school programs, creates and hosts festivals, concerts, and community gatherings, offers free music and art classes, invites caregivers and grandfamilies to participate in creative arts sessions, and offers a haven for children who have no opportunities to express their artistic selves.

Originally formed as the New York Underground Museum, a place to archive and showcase the works of both recognized and unrecognized artists of the community, the organization evolved into the Foundation for New American Art to offer much-needed cultural equity to children and families with little or no access to the Arts.
We are happy to be making a donation to support the wonderful programs of Phoebe's FNAA, and want to add that no amount is too small. Please give what you can to this noteworthy and much needed nonprofit organization. All donations are 100% tax deductible. https://www.paypal.com/donate/...
The Foundation for New American Art offers the promise that neglected neighborhoods can achieve a considerable degree of much needed cultural equity.

Phoebe Legere, A Walker Between Worlds, On the Day of Mourning

 


From Phoebe Legere:

Good Morning Everybody! I give thanks for all my friends. #gratitude I wanted to take a moment to explain why we call #Thanksgiving the “Day of Mourning.”  

t is very easy to understand - once you know the facts. You see, the very first Separatists who came to Turtle Island were deeply spiritual religious pilgrims. They had REAL respect for their Wampanoag neighbors (led by a magnificent genius called The Massasoit also known as Ousamequin (Yellow Feather) But soon word got out about our oceans rich with fish and skies alive with birds of all kinds.  

Waves and waves of Caucasian Colonists came to grab free land and abundant resources. You might call it a greedy feeding frenzy for material things. Add to this racism, and intolerance of religious diversity  

The next thing you know millions of grandparents, parents and little children were slaughtered. Murdered. Abused. Shamed. Scientists tell us that trauma can be carried for 7 generations and beyond. So please understand that we are still hurting, deeply hurt. 

Even though many of you tell me you think Native Americans are cool and you like our religions and cultures, we must be honest with you - We are hurting and continue to be hurt by the Colonization of Turtle Island. I am a walker between worlds - a Mayflower descendant AND a Native American descendant. (Abenaki/Mi’kmaq)
