2025 Annual Appeal - slides + posters

 

3S didn’t appear by accident. It was built — piece by piece, show by show — by a community that believed in something bolder. 

This year, we celebrated a decade of creative risk and impact together, and now, we’re asking you to keep something irreplaceable alive for the next 10 years.

Every donation helps support artists, performances, and exhibitions that make the creative culture in our community thrive. Thank you for supporting our 501(c)(3) contemporary arts non-profit!

Curious to learn more about what we've been up to this year? Read our Impact Report!

As your generosity fuels our mission, we strive to return that generosity through vibrant cultural experiences like our new Gallery exhibition opening December 5: Third Space,  an immersive experience, where contemporary art is curated across three cozy and distinct “rooms” built for wintertime socializing, wandering, and warm conversation. Please visit us this holiday season!

Between celebrating 3S’ ten-year anniversary, serving as a Community Role Model at Project Upcycle, and then having the honor of wearing Ashley Cushon's winning design– I truly haven’t stopped smiling. I am so proud and sentimental when it comes to 3S, and this felt about as magical as opening weekend did ten years ago. The team at 3S is truly the best of the best, then and now."

— Celeste Ladd, Director of Institutional Philanthropy, Claremont McKenna College (and former Marketing & Development Manager at 3S!)

Thank you for inviting me to show my work at 3S. It’s such an honor to be part of a space that celebrates creativity and community in such a meaningful way.
— Cindy Mauchi, exhibiting artist

3S stands out as a place where bold, creative work can shine. It offers a home for local performers dedicated to building community through their audiences. Shows here feel intimate and the sense of belonging they foster is unique to other venues.
— Beth LaMontagne, Creator + Host, Long Story Short

What a glorious experience...I am so grateful to have been included, and I am now and forever a diehard fan of Project Upcycle and all those I met through the process. It’s just the coolest thing in town.
— Evan Mallett, Chef + Owner, Black Trumpet
