Save the gallery event Sept 27, 2025

 

Good morning, We are writing to request that you support the 5 Points Arts Gallery and studios, owned by Fatima Laster, "save the gallery" event today. Fatima and the gallery are integral parts of the 5 points neighborhood, its association, and its beginnings. Fatima grew up in the area, returned to own a space for the community, and contributes to neighborhood stabilization, the 5 points neighborhood association as a member, board member, community, and business representative. She has consistently and diligently fights with the anti-gentrification/neighborhood stabilization, community enhancement, and senior outreach programs. Her consistency, efforts, and dedication have brought national attention to the fight and her space is always open. She consistently offers programming free to attend and contributes heavily to any of 5 points initiatives. She values the city of Milwaukee as a whole. Her presence is more than appreciated and noted, it is of utmost importance to our survival. As a business owner, especially in the coveted art space, she is a representative to the next generation that everything is possible. It is on the heels of all of these aspects, that "a call" is issued for payment. This causes the gallery's existence, as a staple in the community, is at risk. Saving the gallery is more than necessary; it is critical to our very essence and being. Short story, there was during her second year, a sale of coveted works by an African artist. These works are rare and very hard to come by. She held an opening and had individuals come to buy from the family's personal collection. Not only did this preserve the artist's legacy, it also extended precious works to members of the community and gave the family an uplift as they realized that the very nature of the work is treasured. For the meager cost of what it takes to buy two large meals at a fast food place, you have the honor of contributing to a staple in the community and are able to choose whether to have your name recorded in the 5PNA Wall on its site as a patron of the arts. All we ask is that you choose one of these options and let us know once you have completed it: 1) purchasing a ticket to attend the "save the gallery" event today, 2) make a contribution to the gallery, or 3) purchase a small item. Any one of these will have you listed on our virtual wall. Your 5pna team leader, :) sy
