SUPPORT

 

Support the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing this Holiday Season!

It is our goal in 2024 to raise $100,000 to support the ongoing work of the Leo Marchutz School, and we are almost there! Help us reach our goal today! The end of the year is the perfect time to make a donation to support this school that has meant so much to so many people since its founding in 1972. We invite our community of artists, friends, and supporters to join us to ensure this school lasts beyond any of our lifetimes and is able to continue 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 an independent format. We are dedicated to continuing this important work.

Join us this holiday season to reach our goal of raising $100,000 in 2024! Buy a tote bag, begin a monthly donation, or make a one-time contribution. We are grateful for your generous support of the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing.
