Please help us keep art for everyone!

A MESSAGE FROM RAC’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & BOARD PRESIDENT

Hello Friends,

We ❤️❤️❤️ sharing art classes, exhibitions and community events with you!

But do you also know about Richmond Art Center’s other programs, such as mentorship art classes for teens, bilingual artist residencies in schools, free art tours, and low-or-no cost summer art camps? These more behind-the-scenes programs are designed to be community-responsive and accessible to folks with limited opportunities to make and engage with art.

We need your help to continue this work. For the second year in a row, Richmond Art Center’s total donations are lower by over $100,000; money that could cover over 300 class scholarships, or provide 20 free afterschool classes at Richmond public schools. While we are always cautiously optimistic our programs won’t be impacted, we are watching our pennies and running with a reduced staff team. But we cannot do this forever.

Please help us keep art for everyone! Can you donate to our Annual Fund to keep these programs rolling forward in 2024? CLICK HERE to learn about some of our achievements this year, and CLICK HERE to see the thank you gifts we have for donors to our end-of-year appeal.

Your contribution – any amount – will support education programs and community outreach continuing next year. CLICK HERE to make your donation online. Or if you prefer, mail a check to Richmond Art Center, 2540 Barrett Avenue, Richmond, CA 94804.

Please support Richmond Art Center this giving season.

With gratitude,
