Through your support, we're able to provide a wide range of arts programming: commissioned works from emerging artists who have yet to show in the Southeast, free lectures from leading figures in art today, arts-focused workshops and activities for youth of all ages, and much more.
Matching Gifts
Double your donation through employer-sponsored matching gifts. Just pick up a matching gift form from your employer, include your donation, and mail both to the address below. We'll take care of the rest.
Each month, we challenge our donors to match dollar-for-dollar of the total number of donations received at the Welcome Desk in support of free admission, every day.
