The Art of Giving
Thanks to support by BRAC’s generous members, volunteers, donors and sponsors we are able to host exhibits, opening receptions and a variety of quality classes. Additionally, we are able to invest in our historic building and grounds to create a strong foundation and welcoming space.
Our Annual Arts Fund campaign is your opportunity to support the arts in your community. Your board has been working hard to sustain and enhance the Arts Center. We ask that you, our members and friends, join us this season by making a donation to our Annual Arts Fund. Your gifts will help us continue to provide cultural and artistic opportunities for our community and surrounding area.
Consider a gift from the heart. Share kindness and honor a loved one by making a donation gift (of $50 or more) to the Blue Ridge Arts Center (BRAC) in their name. Both the honoree and the donor will receive a 5″ x 7″ fine art notecard, featuring artwork by Edie Fagan, printed on watercolor paper, suitable for display or framing. The BRAC Development/Fundraising committee will send cards on your behalf. Please click the link below to make your donation and fill out the form to give the gift of art!
