Partner Organization Spotlight
Individual Donor Spotlight DD & Janie Fischer
The District features the very best shopping and dining in downtown Quincy but it also represents the vibrant arts and culture community through music, dance, theater, history, visual arts, literary arts and culture. Spanning from the mighty Mississippi, east to 12th Street and from State Street to Broadway, The District includes rich arts organizations, local and national historic districts and magnificent architecture and people who support and love the arts.
June 28, 2017 is a day that will forever be remembered in the lives of DD and Janie Fischer. DD received the gift of a double lung transplant that day, which gave DD and Janie a second chance at life together! While living in St. Louis for three months after the transplant, the Fischer’s realized even more how important arts and music are in a person’s life.
Quincy's historic downtown area is full of entrepreneurs who continuously support the arts. Whether it is selling items created by area makers, featuring a local musician or supporting various events and organizations financially, these boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and more create opportunities that increase access to the arts while bringing the downtown to life.
“While in recovery, we so enjoyed being able to listen to music together, visit art museums and read our Arts Quincy magazine," Janie said.
As a partner organization of Arts Quincy, The District has benefited from the Arts Dollars granting program which helps support downtown events like Blues in the District, Lincoln in the District, QFest and more. If you love experiencing the arts, we encourage you to become a member of Arts Quincy and support the organization’s efforts to bring arts to all.
“The Quincy Society of Fine Arts is just an amazing organization and does so much to enhance the quality of life for people in Quincy and the surrounding area," she said. "We have always supported QSFA and always will as it just makes living in Quincy all the better!”
We urge you to explore the businesses and restaurants in The District. Stop in and purchase items made by local artists, attend live music events and plays and then grab a bite to eat. While you celebrate the arts, you can support this vibrant, artistic culture in Quincy.
