Make a One-time Donation to CEPA
From: $1.00
CEPA is supported by dedicated patrons, artists, collectors, and community members. We would not exist without your generosity. We invite you to join us by visiting our gallery, becoming a member, taking a class, making a monetary donation, or donating your time by joining our Board of Directors or Committees.

Your tax-deductible gift of any amount is deeply appreciated. Unrestricted donations allow us to use the funds where they are most needed, but you may designate your gift towards Arts Education, Visual Arts Exhibitions, or the Lawrence Brose Legacy Fund.

Contributions to the Lawrence Brose Legacy Fund support the stewardship of the Lawrence Brose Collection, as well as CEPA’s rich archival and fine art holdings in general. CEPA’s archives document seminal moments in the regional and national history of image-based media beginning in the late twentieth century. Donations underwrite the care, scholarship, and presentation of CEPA’s exemplary archival holdings.
