Your Contribution

We rely on your support to sustain the Old Art Building. We ask our generous community to support the Old Art Building through the Annual Fund, Special Events, Endowment, Planned Giving and through Major Gifts. We believe all gifts of any amount can make a difference.

There are many ways you can contribute to the Old Art Building. Every gift, regardless of its size, sends a strong message that you are committed to preserving the Old Art Building, and the countless programs and classes that take place within its walls, for generations to come. You may make a gift in a variety of ways including cash, check, credit card and gifts of stock.

What’s the difference between the Annual Fund and a Capital Campaign?

Capital Campaign:
A capital campaign is a targeted fundraising effort to raise significant amounts of money within a specified period. Capital campaigns are used for long-term needs like building projects, endowment funds, or significant equipment purchases.

Annual Fund:
The Annual Fund supports unrestricted operating expenses—part of an organization’s annual budget. It pays employee salaries, keeps the lights on, and allows the organization to fulfill its mission – daily. This appeal occurs on an annual basis.

Both initiatives contribute to the overall success and sustainability of the organization.

The OAB is in the midst of a capital campaign. The Honoring Our Part, Building Our Future campaign began in spring 2024. This capital campaign presents the unique chance to extend programming and offer new opportunities with the acquisition of a neighboring riverfront property. The new property, and campus expansion, will present more opportunities for creating, learning, meeting and gathering. Even during this capital campaign, we still rely on annual donor support to fund the day-to day operations.
