"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire

Thank you to all our wonderful friends, supporters, and donors for joining us on this journey. Helicon would not be here were it not for the kindness and generosity of those who wish to honor the artistic talents and diverse creations of our students here at NU. We cannot express how much it means to us that you would see us through and ensure the legacy of Helicon lives on for generations to come!

"Crossing the starting line may be an act of courage, but crossing the finish line is an act of faith." - John Bingham

And here we are! It's been quite a journey trying to reach our funding goal together, but we finally have the resources we need to make this project possible. Our launch event will be held at a local Evanston venue thanks to the generous gifts and earnest efforts of our kind patrons!

It's almost time!

With one day left before the end of our fundraising project, we're putting one last call to all you patrons and purveyors of the arts. This is your final chance to help keep the fire of the arts alive at NU as we approach the publication of our magazine and our launch event! Your contributions are essential to making sure we are able to provide a space for artists to share their incredible artistic and literary contributions and recognize those creators who deserve to have their work shown in the best possible light.

"Victory comes by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before." - Herodotus

As we near the final stages of this project, we just wanted to thank you for helping to make this possible. Our team has been hard at work compiling and collating the incredible batch of student submissions we have for this year's issue. With just a little more funding, we will be able to do these works justice by putting on an open mic launch event to showcase all of this fantastic work. Let us all strive to exert more vigorous efforts than ever before in funding this valuable piece of Northwestern's legacy!

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu 

We're on our way! Thank you so much to our wonderful donors for making this project possible. Your contributions ensure that we can uphold our commitment to showcasing and advancing student art and literary creations here at NU. Since 1979, the Helicon team has worked to foster a thriving community of student art, literature, music, and film here at NU, and such a community is alive today because of support from people like you!
