support the arts - support chyro

There's a place in South Scottsdale which is getting rave reviews from local papers and audiences. Where teenagers (and often parents) are enjoying live bands. Where local art hangs on the walls, spoken word poets train for national competition, a children's play entertains and teaches good decision-making, and where indie film is alive and well. That place is CHYRO ARTS VENUE.

Chyro is a non-profit, 501c3 arts venue hosting all these events, and more. And while the entire staff, sometimes working 40-hour weeks in addition to regular jobs, is 100% volunteer, keeping our ticket prices low and accessible sometimes puts us in the red at the end of each month.

You can be a part of continuing to foster Chyro's success as a place where all the arts are; where your gift matters!

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help offset operational costs such as rent, electricity, and insurance. That's only 100 people at $100 each. With the federal tax rebate coming soon, won't you consider a gift today to help keep Chyro accessible to everyone in the metro area? There is no other place in Scottsdale offering an all-ages, all-arts space. Your gift will help ensure we can continue our successful children's theatre program, high school and college bands, and more.

We want our 2008-2009 season to grow by leaps and bounds so you have a place to go. We offer the lowest prices for theatre tickets, and great prices for live music and indie film. As schools continue to reduce arts classes and other small venues in Phoenix are forced to close, Chyro represents the very best of what local performers and artists have to offer.

Thank you so much for your support of Chyro!
