ArtSpring is made possible thanks to the generous support of many individuals and organizations, our wonderful donors and sponsors. Two major fundraisers are held every year – the ArtSpring Treasure Fair in July and the Annual Appeal, which is launched in the fall. Contact us if you’re interested in supporting an ArtSpring season, or you can donate online.
