CultureWorks is committed to enriching lives and fostering unity within communities through the transformative power of music. In 2023, CultureWorks proudly contributed funding to support the HARPS Project by assisting in restoring four essential harps.

The HARPS Project: Restoring Musical Treasures

These harps play a crucial role in musical education and performances within our community. Instead of replacing these valuable instruments, which would have cost $21,700, we restored them. With a total investment of $4,802.24, CultureWorks brought these harps back to life, ensuring they can continue to inspire and educate for years to come.

Impact on the Community

By supporting the HARPS Project, we have:

• Preserved Musical Heritage: These restored harps are now in the hands of musicians, students, and educators, enriching our community's musical landscape.

• Enhanced Educational Opportunities: The availability of these harps means more students have access to quality instruments, allowing them to learn and perform with the best resources.

• Fostered Artistic Growth: Musicians of all ages can continue to develop their skills and share their talents, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic cultural scene in Richmond.

Looking Ahead

The success of the HARPS Project underscores the importance of community support and investment in the arts. CultureWorks remains dedicated to finding sustainable and innovative ways to support and enhance our local arts and culture community.
