Donations made to the Museum allow for the presentation of exhibitions, outreach programs to the community, research, publications, and conservation of works of art. Individuals, corporations and foundations can make a difference by contributing to the Museum.  We rely on your gifts to present programs like Seldom Seen, From Art History to Art Making, and our Summer Salon Series, which bring to light the Museum's collection and provide opportunities to work with emerging artists and San Diego finest performing arts organizations.

Individual donations made by cash, check or credit card  further the Museum's mission by assisting in the development and presentation of exhibitions, education and outreach programs, publications, and conservation.
