Equal Measure Arts Giving Circle
Why give?
Support equal access to professional recording!
Our recording scholarships ensure that we can continue to support the musical development of students and other talented emerging artists, whether or not they have the resources to do so themselves.
We have already completed over a dozen projects with student musicians — have forged relationships with other local nonprofits — and have hosted interns from local high schools as well as colleges like Berklee and UVM. Now we need your generous support to make these efforts sustainable and enable our reach to grow even further!
