Over these past months, you have demonstrated your mettle and heart, CABIN FEVER intrepidness and vision. We are inspired and awed by each of you! And of course, a big THANK YOU to the Cabin Fever artists and the organizers of the Hope Wall project, tonight’s many generous sponsors, 1708’s small but mighty staff, and our fellow Board of Directors. While we can’t come together in person, we can still celebrate contemporary art and artists. The Live and Silent Auctions feature terrific works by regionally and nationally regarded artists. They represent the best emerging talent and the celebrated champions of this city’s art scene. We hope you will log out tonight with an artwork (or two) from this amazing AUCTION COMMITTEE group. These past months we have demonstrated our commitment to being a MOLLY DODGE, PAIGE GOODPASTURE, CATALYST for artists in our community. Through projects like the Space SUSAN JAMIESON, HALEY MCLAREN, Grant program, our new Virtual Studio Tours, and InLight, we found VALERIE MOLNAR, JULIE WEISSEND, creative ways to provide support and outlets for so many emerging talents. AND CAROLINE WRIGHT By purchasing sponsorships, collecting great art, and raising your paddle tonight, YOU are a CATALYST for this transformative support of artists and for the provocative and engaged art that results.

At 1708, artists are our top priority and we are committed to the development of their work in every capacity. We are likewise committed to providing our community with programs that embrace uncertainty and reward exploration, that challenge expectations and raise awareness, and that demonstrate that contemporary art is for all. CATALYST is our campaign to build upon our long history of promoting these priorities. Through CATALYST we will establish an urban residency program on Broad Street that expands our platform for supporting artists and increases opportunities for engagement, connection, participation, and inspiration across the community. Through the purchase of our building, the key component of the campaign, we will secure the physical space to realize this vision. Further funds raised will provide funding for our nascent residency program and programmatic growth and will bolster our sustainability by establishing robust operating reserves. Funds raised at Cabin Fever provide the backbone of our work and allow us the space to envision our CATALYTIC future. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We are pleased to share that we are over a third of the way towards our goal and look forward to sharing more updates soon! Funds raised at Cabin Fever are a part of this larger effort as they provide the backbone of our work and allow us the space to envision our CATALYTIC future. Thank you for joining us on this journey. 3 CINDY NEUSCHWANDER SCHOLARSHIP UPCOMING AT 1708 ACTIVE-INTERMISSION-COMPOSITE-ARTIFACT VESNA PAVLOVIĆ, LILY COX-RICHARD, AND JONATHAN BOUTEFEU + MARINA PINSKY MARCH 5 - APRIL 24, 2021 Cindy Neuschwander, Untitled (Self Portrait – Highlands, NC), 1986, Photograph Vesna Pavlović, Salon Serbia, Inside the Federal Executive Council Building, Belgrade, Serbia.
