­­­­Through this cold winter and late spring, we brought you Quasi Productions, Spiral Theatre and Primary Colours Student Theatre performances, facilitated truly collaborative and healthy art shows like Take a Look from the Inside Out, re-started the 4th annual Milwaukee Spotlight Student Film Festival, and provided groups like Spreenkler, GLUE, Web414, and others with a place to meet and call home.

We are also working hard to re-launch Open Art, Open Improv, and our membership introduction program, "Evoke Your Creativity," as well as an array of classes and programs on the subjects we know best: building websites, building social networks, collaboration, and creativity--to name a few.

But this was a tough winter, and our heating bill was shockingly high.

We need your help to keep doing all these things.­

Please take a moment now to give us $50, $100, $1000--help us raise $10,000 by the end of July so we can continue to build a great Bucketworks for you. Click here to make your contribution today.­
