SUPPORT US
Why support Access Arts?
Art is one of the enduring aspects of any culture -- one of the things which makes life richer for all who create and enjoy it. It expands our understanding of and empathy towards one another. Put simply, it makes our community better. Unfortunately, art classes can be inaccessible due to barriers of cost or phyical access.
That's where Access Arts can make a difference. And where you can help.
Your support of Access Arts helps us share the gift of art with those who would not otherwise be able to participate in art education. Contributions go toward scholarships, maintaining our facilities, and providing community outreach events. And, because Access Arts is a 501(c)3 organization, all donations are tax-deductible.
Making a contribution is easy. Just click the "donate" button or drop a check in the mail. If you would like to make arrangements for a bequest or legacy donation, we'd be more than happy to help, and would welcome the opportunity to chat with you about recognition for directed giving. Contact our executive director.

Wishlist
Our summer campers enjoy gardening in a raised bed where they can experience gardening and incorporate plants and insects into their art-making. We're still in need of some gardening tools and cleaning supplies to keep our classroom sanitized. We also have some office and studio items that we are almost always in need of, all listed below! Any of the following items would be greatly appreciated.
