Arts Patrons wanted

The Village Gallery of Arts is inviting local businesses and neighbors to join the Village Gallery as a Patron of the Arts to bring stability to this unique art and gallery resource. The gallery is a non-profit cooperative teaching gallery for arts and crafts operating in the Cedar Mill area since 1963.
The gallery’s mission is to provide high quality teachers at reasonable prices and to give emerging artists the opportunity to show their work. The gallery offers art classes to students of all ages with local and national artist teachers. The gallery participates in Beaverton School District school art fairs, offers children’s art classes in the gallery and displays art regularly at senior residential facilities.
The gallery is facing challenges created by increased lease costs and higher teaching fees. The gallery receives no tax-payer funding. It supports itself through fees for classes, membership dues, sales from the Gallery and tax-deductible donations. Allen Greene, Gallery fundraising chairman, says, “The goal of the Patron of the Arts program is to increase services to the community and at the same time maintain affordable membership dues and class fees.”
The gallery is seeking monetary gifts at all levels. Patron benefits include invitations to gallery events, the Art Focus monthly newsletter and a certificate of recognition. To learn more about the Patron of the Arts program, contact Allen at the Gallery at 503-644-8001.
