It started with a dog named Lucy and a cup of coffee. The Four Hands Collective grew from those sidewalk conversations into a nonprofit devoted to one idea: that local artists deserve a community that truly has their back — with fair pay, real promotion, and neighbors who show up.

We envision a renaissance of local community, built around the artists in our midst — where every neighborhood knows its musicians, every performance is a gathering, and the connection between artist and neighbor runs deep enough to change both of their lives.

To make that happen, we want to know what the artists in our community really need.
