The Ten Nights Fund
Thank you for ten nights, and for whatever we build next. — Craig & Hannah
Everything the Four Hands Collective does, every sold-out show, every free concert on Columbus Avenue, every artist paid fairly, every Community Seat given away, exists because neighbors decided to show up for one another. There's no big institution behind this. There's just us, and you.
The Ten Nights Fund is how we carry it forward: into our next ten shows, and into the new things we're building: living-room salons, open mics, gatherings, care for our artists, and a door that stays open to everyone.
This isn't a hard ask; it's an invitation. If you'd like to give, every dollar goes straight to the artists and the work. We're a 501(c)3, and your gift is tax-deductible. And if you'd rather just come be in the room, that counts too. Either way: welcome. You're part of this.
What your gift does.
Fair pay for every artist who performs. Every musician who steps onto the Triad stage receives fair compensation. That is a promise we have kept since night one, and your donation is what makes it possible to keep keeping it.
A room that stays open. Tickets cover the basics. Donations make it possible to go further — more shows, Community Seats for artists and students who can't afford a ticket, and the open jam sessions and community gatherings that keep this community alive between Nights at the Triad.
The stories that reach further. High-quality video and audio documentation of each show lets the music travel beyond the room — to audiences who haven't found us yet, and to the artists themselves, who deserve a record of what they gave.
Art is a gift. So is this community.
The Four Hands Collective was built on a simple conviction: that the relationship between artists and their neighbors is one of the most essential and most neglected relationships in city life. The musicians in this community have performed at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, and on stages around the world. They come to West 72nd Street because this neighborhood shows up for them.
Your donation is how you show up.
It funds the fair pay that lets musicians focus on their art instead of their survival. It funds the open door that makes these evenings accessible to everyone, regardless of what they can afford. It funds the community that, when it's working the way we believe community can work, changes both the artists and the neighbors who find each other in that room.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Your donation is fully tax-deductible. And it goes exactly where we say it does.
If you would like to talk about supporting the Collective in a more sustained way — through recurring giving, event sponsorship, or the Community Seats program — we would love to hear from you.
