As an organization that is largely volunteer-run, the Arts Council of Rockland is grateful to the individuals who make up our wonderful community, without whom we could not do the work that we do every day. We have joined local business leaders in Rockland and Westchester to participate in Volunteer New York’s #Bridge2Give campaign to help raise awareness about the importance of giving (time AND money!), especially on #GivingTuesday, December 3, 2019. Click here to watch our executive director, Cheryl Baun, talk about the importance of giving and why giving to the arts is so important!
