Sharing stories, building community
Story House Ithaca is a community arts organization with an emphasis on "community." Our mission is to bring people together to share, study, create, and enjoy stories in all their forms. That's because we believe that communities are stronger when people get to know each other better. We're a project of the nonprofit Center for Transformative Action. Learn more.
Postcards to the Planet
For Earth Day 2024, we set up a table on the Ithaca Commons, put a pile of old postcards in a box, and asked passersby to grab a card and write a note to the planet. Here's what they had to say.
We love our supporters!
Story House has been pretty quiet for the last couple of months, in large part because co-director Lesley has been in New York City making sure The Turnaway Play gets to audiences around the country. But we've been busy behind the scenes, beavering away on grant proposals to support new and ongoing programs. That means meeting with collaborators, drawing up plans, writing budgets, and honing our arguments for why what we do is important. Such is the life of a small community nonprofit!
Now we want to pause for a moment to let you know how much your support means to us. Some of you give regularly and others chip in with a few bucks at an event. We notice and we're grateful!
We also want to recognize the foundations, organizations, and companies who have helped make the Story House vision real. Heartfelt thanks to the New York State Council on the Arts, Humanities New York, Park Foundation, Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County, Community Foundation of Tompkins County, Triad Foundation, JM McDonald Foundation, The Sophie Fund, Legacy Foundation of Tompkins County, NAMI Finger Lakes, Tompkins Bank, The Learning Farm, Khuba International, and CCM.
