Help Expand The WhyteStone Creative Community!
Our beloved WhyteStone Property IS BEING SOLD and our community will be changing addresses on September 1st!
If WhyteStone has touched you in any way over the past 3 years,
we're asking for your help now.
Help us continue being a community use space where even more magic happens!
A place where large-scale art projects are built, creative and educational events are held at no cost, and a place where people of all kinds gather to share, laugh, learn and live.
We've found an incredible new property not too far away and we humbly ask you consider making a donation that will allow us to expand to our next location and ensure that we LEAVE NO TRACE in our current space when we go.
Even $5 or $10 dollars will help–– it’s the thought that counts.
