SUPPORT US
Why support Access Arts?
Art is one of the enduring aspects of any great culture, one of the things which makes life richer for all who create and enjoy it. It expands our understanding of one another, as well as what is possible. It makes our community better. But not everyone has a chance to find the art within themselves, to express their creativity, or to learn how to appreciate the creativity of others.
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 get a good art education. Contributions go toward scholarships, maintaining our facilities, demonstrations, and community outreach. And since 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 in any way we can, and would welcome the opportunity to chat with you about recognition for directed giving. Just contact the Access Arts office.

DONATIONS
Wishlist
This year for our summer camps, we built a raised bed so that our campers could experience gardening and incorporate plants and insects into their art-making. We're still in need of some gardening tools as well as cleaning supplies to keep our classroom sanitized. We also have some office and studio items that we are almost always in need of, all are listed below! Any of the following items would be greatly appreciated, and we created an Amazon Wishlist to make things even easier, be sure to check it out!
