Your donations help supplement every aspect of our program from baseline operating costs and paying our staff; to art materials, framing supplies, studio artist field trips, and guest artist workshops.
Though the studio's primary support comes from the State of California via the Redwood Coast Regional Center, the per-student rate we receive has been the same for several years, while our costs continue to rise.
A portion of your donations also support our scholarship fund, which allows students not covered by Regional Center funding to attend.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
We place priority on using quality, non-toxic, clean, art materials. We welcome your donations and can provide you with a receipt useful for tax purposes.
