Campaign for the Future II

An opportunity to make a long term investment in improving the quality of life in our community through visual art.

Exhibitions of Importance
Offering unique and powerful cultural enrichment, exploring our complex human experience, values, culture, history, and aesthetics.

Education Program Expansion
Making the art exhibition experience, studio art creation, and creative thought development more accessible to our regional community.

Endowment
Supporting exhibition, education, and facility needs in perpetuity, for the benefit of current and future generations.


The Gadsden Arts Center has grown steadily since it was founded in 1994 to improve the quality of life in our community through the arts. Gadsden Arts now attracts 22,700 annual visits for exhibitions, education programs, cultural enrichment and social events. Positive impacts of Gadsden Arts include downtown revitalization, economic development, promotion of our region’s artistic talent, and educational, social, and philanthropic opportunities. The Gadsden Arts Center is widely recognized for its quality exhibitions, historic setting, museum-quality facilities, and professional staff.

The Campaign for the Future II builds upon this leading reputation, and momentum developed through recent years’ successes, to fuel continued growth for the growing benefit of our broad community. To date, generous contributions and pledges have brought Gadsden Arts to 81% of the campaign goal, which will fuel growth in exhibitions and education programs for 5–7 years and build perpetual support through endowment.

The Campaign for the Future II at work...
Early campaign contributions collected at the end of 2011 are already at work in our community through continued excellence in exhibitions and interpretive programming planned for 2012, and in additional education programs introduced in recent months.

Help provide outstanding young performers the means to further their artistic development by sending a child to art camp.                                                                                          
The Gadsden Arts Center Art Camp is a cultural, social, and educational experience for children, combining enjoyment of original art in the galleries, studio art activities, and cultural content from around the world to create a fun, enriching program.

It is our goal this year to raise enough scholarship funds to reduce camp tuition for 100% of participating families.

To contribute a $75 tuition scholarship, contact Grace Robinson Maloy at 850.627.5020, or mail your contribution to 13 N. Madison Street, Quincy, FL, 32351.
