Support for the Arts is at a critical point
A new survey by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits contains alarming news—the number of Minnesota nonprofit organizations experiencing financial stress is growing. Despite continuing COVID 19 pandemic recovery efforts, nearly 80% of Minnesota non-profits reported less than 12 months of financial stability. The arts sector has been severely impacted. Some organizations have already closed. You can read the full report here.
Against this backdrop, Skylark continues to rebuild because of your support. This year marks our 45th anniversary of bringing critically-acclaimed opera and musical theatre to Minnesota audiences. There are lots of exciting things happening at Skylark! THANK YOU!
