General Operating Funds and Equipment Staff Development / Volunteer Development
General operating needs such as office and art equipment and supplies, are necessary for the continued success of our organization. Staff training and development is essential to a forward moving art center.

The Art Center collection of Maude Kerns' work, showcased in quarterly exhibits in the Salon Gallery, has recently been augmented through acquisition of another sizable collection.
