Do you support art in your community? We are a first-rate community museum, but we need your help to keep us that way.

Give to Cedarhurst and your gift will immediately be put to work inspiring people of all ages.
Here are just a few of the extraordinary programs you can choose to sponsor during the year:

  • Fund our exhibition schedule, which highlights student, regional, and national artists;
  • Encourage creativity through hands-on classes at the Shrode Art Center. Help us provide quality instruction for ages 1 to 100.
  • Expose more children to the joys of art through school visits and special programs, like our annual African American History Month collaboration;
  • Connect area families so they can grow and learn together at Story Time, Family Days, and everyday play in the Beck Family Center;
  • Strengthen our community through special events like Thursday Night Live, The Happening, Ironclad Art: The Motorcycle, and Cedarhurst Art and Craft Fair.
  • And make the arts accessible to ALL by supporting Free Thursdays year-round.

See Corporate Support or Membership Support for more details.
