2022 End-of-Year Fundraising Campaign

It was our goal in 2022 to raise $100,000 to support the Leo Marchutz School's new independent future, and with your help, we exceeded this goal! We sincerely thank you for your support!

In 2023, the Leo Marchutz School is continuing to celebrate 50 years of existence and we are proud to say that over the past year we have, with a nimble team and limited resources, strengthened our vision as an independent organization and doubled down on our goal to continue and progressively expand the important legacy of Leo Marchutz’s school for artists, writers, students, and teachers. We want to ensure that this school lasts beyond any of our lifetimes and is able to continue to the important work of fostering a diverse, engaged, and art-focused community through the sustained investigation of the mysterious nature and aim of art.

We have been working hard to preserve and continue the legacy of Leo Marchutz’s educational philosophy and artistic movement through a combination of educational programming, workshops, community outreach, online initiatives, and more, all in a new independent format. We are dedicated to continuing this important work.

Just because 2022 is over, does not mean you cannot continue to donate. Please consider making a donation to support our efforts to: continue the important work of the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing to ensure its future and longevity; expand our faculty and staff in order to offer more programs and workshops; invest in a permanent and beautiful studio space in Aix-en-Provence, France; and support student scholarships so artists and students of all types can participate in our life-changing programs both in Aix and around the world. 

Thank you.
