Dear friends, As we prepare to count down to 2017, we’re taking time to remember the transcendent moments of community-building that we were privileged to host at SOMArts this past year. The people and programs on this list motivate us to keep fighting to support socially-conscious and experimental art, even in times as difficult as these. We hope this list will provide an antidote to your bad news 2016 blues and that you will consider wrapping up 2016 with a donation of any size to support SOMArts! Thanks in advance for your generosity. See you in 2017! Top 10 SOMArts Inspirations of 2016 Fernando! SOMArts' working cat and the newest addition to our family.
