Art is for Everyone

We Wouldn’t Be Here Without Your Support!

As a non-profit community arts center, our goal is connecting the community with meaningful arts experiences through education, exhibitions, and performances.

Donations like yours allow us to provide financial aid for community members who need support while offering exhibitions and more at no cost.

Did you know?
  • Just $25 buys 1,000 pipe cleaners, sparking endless creativity in our preschool and kindergarten classrooms.
  • Only $100 covers the cost of 10 rolls of film for our darkroom photography classes.
  • Our exhibitions program spends $750 each year on wall paint to bring world-class exhibitions to Lawrence – for free!
  • Summer Youth Theatre invests $2,500 every season on stage makeup.
  • For a school year, $10,000 would support preschool and kindergarten families needing financial aid.

Every donation, big or small, helps us keep art accessible to everyone while inspiring the artists and innovators of tomorrow.
