What a year it has been! The Academy Art Museum has expanded musical offerings, doubled our pre-school enrichment programs, hosted community celebrations like the Frederick Douglass reception, and inaugurated Goin’ Monkey, a free monthly music program for children.
Let’s not forget the Museum’s broad range of classes in visual and performing arts, as well as our exceptional schedule of exhibitions. Looking ahead, we’re already off to a strong start with 20th century master photographer André Kertész: On Reading, followed in February by Mark Rothko: Selections from the National Gallery of Art.
Our generous donors who help underwrite the Museum’s many offerings are critical to our success. During FY 2011, individuals contributed $235,000 towards the Annual Appeal, accounting for almost 20% of the Museum’s overall budget.
The FY 2012 Annual Appeal begins with this exceptional track record, as well as a major challenge: to meet growing demand and underwrite expanded programs, we must raise our goal for the Annual Appeal upwards to $265,000. With your help, this goal is within our reach!
Please consider making a tax-deductible gift of $50, $100, $1,000 or more this year. Whatever the amount, your participation is vital to our success and will support the Academy Art Museum’s longstanding commitment to excellent programming and a balanced budget.
Thank you, and I hope to see you soon at the Museum!
Sincerely,

Erik H. Neil, Director
