LLAMAMIENTO DE FIN DE AÑO
For the Love of Art: Ensuring a Bright Future
As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the incredible impact your support has made on our community through the arts. In just the last year alone, we hosted 34 exhibitions, exhibited 8 newly commissioned portraits by Jeremy Okai Davis, reinvented the tour at Bush House Museum (BHM), hosted three house concerts at BHM, 10+ lectures and 10 opening night receptions – as well as continued with our summer yoga in the park series and our first annual Summer Celebration Party!
“As a Gallery Guide and SAA member, I have seen firsthand the impact of SAA’s forward-thinking approach and dedication to showcasing the work of underrepresented people.
I am proud to be part of this organization and inspired by the positive change we are making.
Our work is crucial in creating a more inclusive society and I hope you will consider showing your support with a year-end gift to SAA!”
– Teddi Korevaar
This year, we took a leap of faith and moved Art Fair from July to September – and folks loved it! We’ve received so much positive feedback from artists, vendors, visitors and our members that we’ll do it again next year in September!
We also hosted a series of performances, presentations, and exhibitions this year; some highlights include The Art of Drag and Contemporary Northwest, our inaugural biennial of Indigenous Artists. Your enthusiasm and participation solidifies our belief in the power of the arts to transform lives and strengthen our community.
Thanks to contributions from generous donors like you, the Salem Art Association brought creativity, inspiration, and joy to countless individuals in the Willamette Valley throughout 2024.
A Call to Action
As we look forward to 2025, we have exciting plans underway. More concerts at the Bush House, exhibitions featuring emerging and established artists, plus much more!
To make these initiatives a reality, we need your help. We rely on the generous donations of supporters like you. The vast majority of our programming is free and open to the public because of YOUR SUPPORT! Truly, every donation is vital to our ongoing success.
We kindly ask you to consider making a year-end tax-deductible donation to the Salem Art Association. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. With your help, we can ensure that the arts remain a vibrant part of our lives and community.
Thank You for Your Support
Please visit www.salemart.org/donate or return the enclosed insert to make your donation.
And, finally, thank you for believing in our mission and for your continued support. We wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a prosperous new year!
With gratitude,
Matthew Boulay
Executive Director
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsor Special Events
Each year, national, regional, and local businesses sponsor Salem Art Association’s fundraising and community-building events which help sustain SAA’s year-round arts programming. Click here to learn more about sponsoring special events.
General Operating Support and Donations
Like many non-profit arts organizations, sponsorships and membership fees only cover a portion of the Association’s budget. We rely on donations from the community and fundraisers to help us fulfill our mission and vision of a vibrant and connected community that harnesses the power of the arts and heritage to expand creativity and improve lives.
SAA provides arts programming via our Community Arts Education Program which engages more than 7,000 students, administrators, teachers and parents each year. We’re always looking for new ways of reaching our community with meaningful programs, workshops, camps, and classes.
SAA features three galleries and a gift gallery exhibiting and interpreting works of 20th and 21st century fine art and crafts primarily by artists living or working in the Pacific Northwest who, through their creative modes of expression, enrich our community and foster a deeper understanding of the value of visual art.
For more information, please contact Matthew Boulay, Executive Director, at 503-581-2228 x303 or Matthew@SalemArt.org.
Planned Giving
You have the power to make a lasting impact on the Salem Art Association through a planned gift. Planned giving is often called “customized philanthropy” because each gift is designed to meet the Association’s strategic goals for the future while often providing benefits to you today.
A well-planned gift communicates your legacy; it tells a story of what you hold as most important and valuable in your life and community. Whether you want to benefit SAA after your lifetime, or start making an impact today, we can help you find the charitable plan that meets your needs. Click here to learn more about planned giving opportunities.
Endowment Opportunities
Through an endowment, funding for critical staff positions, one or more of SAA’s three galleries, or scholarships for working artists and interns is permanently secured, allowing money previously allocated for salary/benefits, budgeted costs to run the galleries, or costs to administer the scholarship/internship programs to be redirected to other organizational expenses.
Donors, meanwhile, have the wonderful opportunity to support areas of personal interest within SAA. The names of donors or honorees may be carried forward into the future through associations with important leadership, scholarship, and educational activities. Named endowment funds are not just for those who have passed on – they are also a meaningful way to honor and recognize a donor while alive.
For more information, please contact Matthew Boulay, Executive Director, at 503-581-2228 x303 or Matthew@SalemArt.org.
