You make what we do possible. Thank you for your loyalty and support!

Commitment from individuals like you allows us to bring amazing art experiences to as broad an audience as possible. Thanks to you, your Museum is able to bring the transformative power of art to the people of our city, our state, and the world beyond.

Donate to the Museum today. Your gift is a gift to your city and your community. Your gift allows us to:

• Provide Art education and outreach to thousands of local school children every year, through programs like Artist in Residence, Teen Art Café, School in the Park, Children’s Workshops, and Community Partnerships with ALBA, La Mesa Teen Center, and Monarch among others.

• Develop specialized Educator Resources, Programs, and Curriculum, including numerous Museum-generated lesson plans, Young Art, Educators’ Art Fair, Educators’ Open House, One Day Exhibitions, In-School PowerPoint Presentations, School Tours, and Group Visits.

• Offer public programs that enrich the Museum experience for guests of every age group. For families we offer Family Drop-In Day every Sunday, Summer Camp, and ARTivities, in addition we offer a wide variety of programs such as tours, lectures, films, music, and dance performances to supplement our exhibitions and offer new and unique ways to experience art.

• Present spectacular exhibitions like Charles Reiffel: An American Post-Impressionist and Behold, America! Art of the United States from Three San Diego Museums.

• Maintain our historic building so that future generations can enjoy its beauty and function, and conserve the irreplaceable art from our Permanent Collection.

Contributions to the Museum Excellence Fund help to ensure that your beloved institution continues to enhance lives, profoundly contributing to what makes San Diego exceptional: past, present, and future.
