Why It Matters
“Art is a community, and community is an art.”
— Bethany Byrd-Hill, Executive Director
Alberta Abbey is more than a venue. It is a 100-year-old building in the heart of the Alberta Arts District — a space where Black and underrepresented artists can create, perform, and be seen, and where neighbors of all backgrounds gather in community.
Leadership Circle donors make it possible to keep this space affordable, accessible, and alive. Your gift sustains the artists, the programs, and the building itself — ensuring the Abbey remains a community anchor for generations to come.
