How Can I Support The Arts Council?
There are several ways you can financially support Arts Council activities and events:
General Donations and Annual Fund Drive
Event Sponsorship
Honorarium and Memorial
Endowment Fund
When you donate to the Arts Council you’re helping to:
- Provide children’s art activities throughout the year
- Support over 50 local arts and cultural member organizations
- Provide visual, performance and culinary art instruction to children and adults
- Bring national and international artists to Wichita Falls
- Support local and regional artists
- Provide and maintain two historic arts facilities that are open to the entire community
- Improve the quality of life for residents, visitors, and potential business prospects
You can also choose to become a sponsor of specific Arts Council events, such as:
- Art Gallery Openings
- Artzeum Interactive Kids' Exhibit
- Arts Alive! Home and Garden Festival
- Cowboy True
- Mystery Art Exhibit
- Perfect Pair: A Food + Drink Affair
- Sculpture Garden Exhibit
- The Imagination Library
You can dedicate your gift in the name of a special person through an Honorarium or Memorial gift. Both gifts have the added value of helping others for years to come - they give at least three times:
- honoring your recipient with a gift of personal meaning
- helping The Arts Council to fulfill its mission
- helping to provide free gallery admission, free school field trips and distance learning, free hands-on arts programming, scholarships, and events
In addition, The Kemp Center for the Arts Endowment at the Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation was made possible by a charitable bequest from a dedicated Kemp supporter and artist. This endowment is important to the perpetuity of the Kemp Center for the Arts’ contribution to the arts in the Wichita Falls area.
