“Contribute to Jerard Studio: You can help John Jerard and Mary Creede recover in the aftermath of the devastating fire in their studio building in Red Hook. The fire happened in September, and while our space did not burn, the smoke and water damage is extensive, as is the wreckage from firefighting efforts. In the weeks and months since, we have been working hard to salvage what we can and fulfill some contracts in another space.
Now, three months later, we are still facing new and unforeseen expenses related to salvage, storage, repairs, and the process of setting up in a new location. These costs are significant and were not something we could have anticipated at the time of the fire. In response to encouragement from our friends and supporters, and because of these ongoing challenges, we are reaching out for help. These expenses will significantly compromise our resources, and every bit of support will help us recover and continue our creative work.
So to all those who reached out, here’s your opportunity to pitch in. We appreciate any contribution, including good wishes, as we work to restore Jerard Studio and move forward.”
With gratitude,
Mary and John.
