We are deeply grateful to our supporters who believe in our mission and contribute to the continued growth of the Collaborative Arts Network New York (CANNY). Your support enables us to provide valuable resources, foster meaningful connections, and drive innovation in the arts.

As a collective of fifteen multidisciplinary arts nonprofits, CANNY occupies a unique space in New York City, offering artists the opportunity to develop experimental work that addresses key issues in our field. Your support sustains this platform, allowing organizational leaders and curators to explore new practices and foster critical and imaginative dialogues around culture and society. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for the arts and evolving to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Thank you for helping us sustain and advance our diverse institutional practices. Your generosity empowers our artists, staff, and audiences to engage with art as a space for innovation, exploration, and adaptability.
