Annual Membership Fund
Annual gifts enable the Turchin Center to present a challenging and exciting roster of artists whose work provides a diverse look at the visual arts and invites visitors to expand their perspectives through creative and critical thinking. Annual gifts also support the critical education and outreach programming that engages participants of all ages in the visual arts through activities such as tours for groups of all ages, and hands-on arts activities for children and adults, including groups that lack access to arts programming due to factors such as geographic isolation, economic hardship, cultural barriers, disability, or age.
Benefits of giving are detailed below. For more details, contact Melinda Friddell at friddellmf@appstate.edu.
