Annual Giving Fundraiser
The Triton Museum's annual end-of-the-year giving fundraiser is underway and we would love your continued support this holiday season. Anything and everything helps!
We are wholly supported by the warmth and efforts of our community. Executive Director of the Triton Museum, Preston Metcalf, has penned a letter to you in consideration of us this holiday season.
Donation Transparency: What your donations go back to
We value transparency. It's important to us that you, as a patron, a member, and/or community partner know what your generous donations go to. Read below to understand more about what your donations do to support us, and how they keep in line with our core values.
ART
First and foremost, we are an art museum. It is in our name. Donations keep the lights on and give us a place for art, and the artists that create them, to call home. Donations make sure we support our talented artists, keep the art in our collections in good shape, make any repairs we need to make, and continue preserving the quality of what you see on our walls.
EDUCATION
Artists and lovers of art alike are driven by curiosity and the desire to learn. We love that we can provide a place for that. Donations fund our art workshops for people of all ages. It funds our lectures that not only we put on, but also educators in our community who love what they do. This includes materials and supplies that we provide as well. It also keeps venues on our property like the Linn Studio for our workshops here with us.
COMMUNITY
Finally, everything comes back to community. Donations allow us to keep our admissions free to the public. It also allows us, and our venues, to be a space where you can hold events for your special moments. Donations help us put on community events for our patrons, members, and their families. It also helps us to continue thinking up more ways to be a better part of your community.
