The proceeds from the benefit will help the Evanston Art Center to make arts more accessible to our community by providing scholarships for students in need of financial support, and funding our exhibitions and outreach programs.

Contribute to a Bigger Picture of Arts Engagement

The Evanston Art Center's new facility located at 1717 Central Street is currently being transformed into a hub for arts and culture.

Our Capital Campaign, SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE, which was launched in July has collected $1,811,596 in generous contributuions. With the addition of future pledges, we are now less than $500,000 shy of our overall goal of $2,500,000. Your tax-deductible constributions will enable us to complete the renovation, purchase studio equipment, and move to the new site in May 2015.

We're planning a dynamic mash-up of discipline-specific visual arts studios and mixed-use spaces in which digital fabrication, craft, design, music, movement, film, language, storytelling, social practice, song, and even the culinary arts will be offered. This new community of makers of all ages and backgrounds will be encouraged to take an active role in the life of the center.

WE NEED YOUR CAMPAIGN SUPPORT TODAY!

Please consider being part of this important community arts effort which will benefit many. Send a tax-deductible contribution today.
