FROM OUR DIRECTOR @middlewest: “We @Philbrook empathize with ALL who have been and will continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re in this together and are here to help. (Thread)
Today 4/7 we are announcing #PhilTheGaps and launching 4 new initiatives to enact our mission while supporting the immediate needs of our community through this difficult time.
As long as our physical doors are closed, @Philbrook will contribute 10% of all membership dollars earned to the Tulsa Area Covid-19 Response Fund established by @tulsaunitedway and @TulsaCF. Join, renew, or return as a Philbrook Member to support your Museum and your community.
This month we will begin seeding our own Philbrook #VictoryGarden, expanding the footprint and yield of our current edible garden by 3x, focusing on regional produce with high nutritional value. This effort will greatly increase donations to @okfoodbank.
In addition to our commitment to pay artists featured in our original digital content, we’re working to provide new platforms to support local artists. In partnership w/ @ovac, Philbrook will launch an online marketplace w/ 100% of sale proceeds going directly to artists
Join us online daily as we continue to bring you the #MuseumFromHome. Enjoy curator talks, artist interviews, museum takeovers, gardening tips, live performances by local musicians, our award-winning podcast, family activities, DJ sets, and more. Stay connected.
If you are in a position to do so, consider helping us provide more content like this through a small donation to the Philbrook Annual Fund online. Visit philbrook.org/donate. Thanks to the generosity of community partner @FCTulsa, gifts will be matched through April.”
