For 80 years, Rochester Art Center has provided opportunities for people of all ages to know, explore, and value the arts. Every exhibition, workshop, tour, camp, and creative experience is made possible by people who believe the arts matter.
As federal and state funding continues to shift, community support has never been more important.
Your gift helps sustain programs like:
✨ Total Arts Day Camp
✨ Creative Studio
✨ Figure Drawing
✨ Free Family Days
✨ SPARK! for people experiencing memory loss
✨ Guided tours and so much more
Every donation helps ensure the arts remain accessible to everyone across Southeast Minnesota.
Want to make an even bigger impact? Consider becoming a monthly donor. Recurring gifts provide stability throughout the year and help us plan confidently for the future.
Thank you for being part of a community that believes creativity belongs to everyone. Together, we're preserving 80 years of impact and building the next 80.
