Access to the Arts is Critical. We’ve been helping the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod for many years. Telling the stories of local people expressing themselves through the Arts is such a critical need in these busy, device-driven, academically challenging days. Kids need as much exposure to the arts as possible. At the 2026 Arts Foundation fundraising gala we helped tell a story of mentorship, of access, or creative exploration and of self-realization for a group of high-schoolers who were monitored by local artist, Joe Diggs. This program would not be possible without the support of our local community and though the generous donations of local supporters.

Artist of the Year (2025) Joe Diggs worked with five Cape Cod high school students to create a mural now on permanent display at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis. Watch their story and see what happens when young people get real access to art.
