Support Forest City Gallery for #GivingTuesday!

#GivingTuesday is a global movement organized by Canada Helps, dedicated to doing better for each other through acts of generosity. As a registered charity and non-profit, Forest City Gallery is proud to be participating in GivingTuesday and seeking community support to give back, while fostering an exciting and engaged artistic community.

This year, Forest City Gallery's #GivingTuesday campaign is directed toward supporting our diverse programming and skills training for artists, administrators, educators, and advocates. Support FCG's mission to foster creativity and culture this #GivingTuesday. You can also support FCG by becoming a Member or by becoming a Community Sponsor! Any contribution you make empowers artists and arts professionals, fuels artistic innovation and education, and helps us increase our capacity to support artistic practice while remaining accessible to all.

We've gathered testimonials from our community—from our membership, exhibiting artists, and local supporters—to help describe our impact on local and regional arts and artistic advocacy.

"My motivation to become an FCG member was to connect with London’s artistic community, where I would be inspired and supported by local creatives and also have an opportunity to participate in the Annual Members’ Show & Sale. Being an FCG member has been an empowering experience. I feel heard. My feedback has not only been encouraged, but acted upon, and thanks to the Show and Sale, one of my pieces of artwork has found a new home." —Artist Rebecca St. Pierre

"As someone who found their way into the artist profession in a non-linear way, I am grateful for the support, respect, and recognition of Forest City Gallery. Venues like Forest City Gallery are essential for emerging and established artists in our community. By bringing artistic communities together in safe and open-minded spaces, we are able to form supportive cultures and foster the conversations that lead to benefits for ourselves and our neighbours." —Artist and Designer Katie Wilhelm

"Before now, I have never come across an organization that clearly articulates exactly what people can expect from them in terms of accessibility, and in such spectacular detail, or that clearly addresses shortcomings due to lack of funding. It shows awareness, and a deep commitment to doing better. Thank you so very much. I encourage all organizations and people to think deeply about the ways in which their spaces and places they go are accessible, the ways they are not, and how this can change, as the Forest City Gallery has." —Community member Shelby Weaver

"In addition to providing traditional exhibition opportunities to artists in SWO, FCG is expanding their range of supports for local makers, including artist studios, a community wall, inclusive events, and volunteer positions. FCG is a key pillar of arts in the greater London area. I hope that in the future, FCG will be able to provide local artists with more resources, workshops, and events to expand opportunities and increase engagement." —Artist & FCG Board Member Rain Bloodworth
