Powered by community, AMP UP 2026 launched with real momentum.

Thanks to the generosity, creativity, and belief of our supporters, this year’s kickoff became more than a fundraiser — it connected our community in a big way! From artists and small businesses to neighbors and family friends, together, we collectively raised over $25,000, setting the stage for a year filled with opportunity, collaboration, and creative growth opportunities for local artists across Napa Valley.

What We Built Together

Because of this collective support, Amplifi is entering 2026 with strengthened programs, expanded mentorship, and more paid opportunities for artists across disciplines (from music and theater to film, dance, and beyond).

Every dollar raised helps ensure artists have access to:

• Creative and professional development
• Mentorship and industry guidance
• Platforms and paid gigs to share their work with the community

AMP UP 2026 is about investing early, sustaining creativity year-round, and building access — and your support made that vision real.
