#TEAMCELEBRATE
Get to know the awesome folks that help us get it done across the 845.
Jamie Sanin (they/she) is a visual artist, educator, and organizer raised in Orange County NY. She holds a degree in Visual Arts Education and also studied dance, music, and theatre from a young age. Each experience provided them not only with a breadth of cultural knowledge but also the opportunity to consider the importance of community care via accessible arts, for which she is an advocate. Jamie's personal, professional, and creative work is centered around social justice, collaboration, and joy and uses the arts as the vessel to foster community. Jamie is the proud founder of Celebrate845 and is so grateful to be a part of the creative community in the 845. "Big love, big appreciation, Black/Queer/Trans Joy/Lives Matter."

Tiera Nolcox (she/her) | As a Newburgh native and resident, Tiera has always used poetry and short stories as an emotional outlet. She shares her words to both inspire and connect those seeking comfort and empowerment within art. She first got involved with Celebrate in 2018 performing poetry at WOMXNFEST (for the first time in front of a big audience!). She has been sharing more since at open mics, local rallies, and in Celebrate's zines. Tiera is on a path to make sure her voice and all Black voices are finally heard loud and fucking clear. Despite what has been thrown at her, she only wants to extend kindness in this word but is prepared to speak up and fight for what's right, so don't dare mistake her kindness for weakness.

Colton Thorn (CT) (they/them) is a singer-songwriter and board certified music therapist returning to the Hudson Valley from Philadelphia. They love running, spending time in nature, reading, and wiggling around, and usually can be found cuddling their pup. They currently teach children guitar, voice, ukulele, and piano through Harmony Garden Music Center. Colton comes to #TeamCelebrate after doing many virtual open mics when beginning to move back to the Hudson Valley. They immediately became smitten with the space, culture of celebration, and felt right at home with this new community. Colton hopes to add continued support to the open mics, even having the opportunity to host one!! They hope to continue to bounce around on the internet in future open mics and eventually in person events.

For us, a sponsorship is usually an in-kind trade agreement where an organization, business, individual, etc. provides us with something that we need and, in exchange, we promote them on our website, in e-blasts, and on social media for the year. If you feel that you have something to offer us or are interested in what our needs are, please reach out. Things we typically need include print materials, access to space, mutual aid materials or funds, monetary donations, retreat space or food for our Team, and more.
