Get The Lead Out FUNDRAISER: Help Us Fix the Leak
ASK operates a historic, 6,000+ square foot arts center located in the Rondout neighborhood of Kingston, NY. Our building—maintained since 2005 through the grassroots efforts of pioneering Kingston artists and community members—houses three art galleries, a 99-seat performance venue, and a classroom/studio. It is the only dedicated arts space in the Rondout.
As a mostly volunteer-led organization, ASK has remained accessible to artists and the public by keeping space rental fees low—ensuring an affordable home for creative work. We host monthly gallery exhibits, year-round performances, and support anchor companies such as Hudson Valley Improv. Our work was recently recognized by Chronogram Magazine, which named Aleksandra Stepanovic’s current sculpture exhibit one of the “10 Art Exhibits to See in the Hudson Valley” this May.
In May, we discovered a deteriorated lead water pipe leaking into the foundation and the street-facing wall of our building. This presents a serious health hazard and requires immediate replacement. The cost for this emergency plumbing repair is $25,000. We have already raised $5,000 through individual donations, but we are urgently seeking $20,000 to complete the work and ensure that ASK remains a safe and operational space.
We have consulted city, county, and state agencies, and unfortunately, no public funding is currently available for this type of emergency infrastructure repair.
Please donate to our building fund – and help us to GET THE LEAD OUT!
