SUPPORT THE VISUAL ARTS

Cultural enrichment and education are essential to the quality of life and vitality of the Frederick region. You can help to ensure that we have a stimulating community in which to live, work, and play. Our ability to bring visual arts education and experiences to the region is dependent on the generosity and thoughtfulness of individuals who appreciate the arts in our community and understand its impact on quality of life—people like you!

Annual Fund

Contributions to the Delaplaine’s Annual Fund are essential to our ability to do more for more, better. Our efforts to share visual arts opportunities and experiences are even more important now. That’s why we continue to improve on the more than 50 quality exhibitions, 2,000+ hours of classes and workshops in a variety of media for all ages and skill levels, and dozens of public programs that we offer throughout the year. We remain committed to lowering barriers through things like free gallery admission and programs, and expanding the opportunities we provide to underserved and at-risk audiences through our Community Outreach with local nonprofit partners. But we can’t do it on our own.

Your Annual Fund gift today will help to ensure another year of visual arts programs that make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community, because, truly, everyone deserves art. Consider how much we can accomplish together and contribute securely using teh form below to make the arts flourish even brighter over the coming year!
