Bluenose Presents, a project of Bluenose Gopher Public House, provides meaningful and educational arts experiences to residents of Granite Falls and surrounding communities, and supports local artists with an opportunity to hone their craft and grow their audience.

Your one-time or sustaining monthly donation will directly support the following activities:

  • Musician in Residence program, which provides the opportunity for a local musician to hone their craft and grow their audience through a paid monthly performance over a 4 - 6 month period

  • Bring in a more robust offering of talented musicians, comedians, and other live performers to enrich the experiences of residents of Granite Falls and the surrounding area

  • Offer monthly artistic, creative and educational classes and events, amplifying creative classes, events and workshop opportunities offered in Granite Falls and our region

  • Acoustic and stage lighting improvements to enhance the performance space at Bluenose and make us a more appealing host site for creative gatherings and events and partnerships with other art organizations

Bluenose Gopher Public House is a cooperatively owned community space with a mission to promote creativity, community and history. We have already had an impact on the arts in our region by bringing in high quality live music, partnering with other local arts organizations to host artist meet and greets, and by creating an informal art gallery wall allowing local artists to have another place to display and sell their art. 

Your funds will directly support the continuation of these efforts and grow our impact on the arts in Granite Falls and surrounding region!
