What a celebration! Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday evening for our 2024 Action Maverick Awards honoring Annie Philbin and Lisa Phillips. We celebrated these two museum directors for their unwavering commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Their relentless dedication to fostering creativity and dialogue within their respective communities has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape.

The evening was a tremendous success raising over $300,000 thanks to your generosity. We aim to raise an additional $50,000 by June 30th, the end of our fiscal year, to support STREB’s Action Heroes, teaching artists, technical crew and staff who are the pillars of STREB and charged with keeping this institution a cultural anchor in Williamsburg.
