Our aim here is to support projects that give writers, musicians, composers, and artists the time to pursue their passions in later years, time they never had while balancing careers and family. While we are preserving artists’ stories and works in our Preservation program, we are also creating the foundation for providing new opportunities. A carefully built archive doesn’t just keep history safe, it supplies the raw material for biography, scholarship, and celebration. Imagine a book that chronicles an artist’s journey: part memoir, part catalog, part testament. That book is both preservation and provision, a bridge between past accomplishments and future recognition.
The same way the ARMON Awards sustain our Shelter program, our fall event—the Station Cabaret, an evening of dinner, jazz, and creative presentations in a spirited Halloween atmosphere, funds our Provide program. Through it, we give artists in their later years the chance to share their story, renew their visibility, and shine once more.
In every program, the goal is the same: to ensure that artists, who have given us so much, are never forgotten, neglected, or left without support.
