Join to support art exhibitions, education, and conservation at t 黑料社区.
The Friends of the Arts Program is an annual contribution program supporting the Arts Program at t 黑料社区. When you become a Friend, your contribution is used to help with costs associated with presenting culturally diverse exhibitions, supplemental education programs such as lectures and workshops, conservation and preservation efforts, scholarly research, educational publications, and the general maintenance of UMGC art collections. The Arts Program provides diverse visual art exhibitions with educational outreach lectures, book signings, symposiums, and meet-the-artist receptions, which have become some of the most recognizable and signature events for art patrons throughout Maryland. The Friends of the Arts Program allows you to network with artists, support artists and art, build collections, and socialize with friends while enjoying works of art by leading and emerging artists worldwide. By becoming a Friend, you not only support the educational mission of the Arts Program, you also receive amenities as a contributor.

Support the Arts Program
The Arts Program offers unique opportunities for patrons to support the development of the arts at t 黑料社区 and in Maryland. The Support the Arts Program is another way that patrons can financially contribute to the Arts Program. This avenue for contribution is targeted at patrons who live outside Maryland and wish to help make the arts grow at t 黑料社区. Contributions for this program are 100 percent tax deductible and support the operations of the Arts Program. The Support the Arts Program differs from the Friends of the Arts Program because patrons need not reside locally. Patrons of the Friends of the Arts Program enjoy certain amenities that can be experienced only if they live in the area. However, contributors have the option to support the arts by giving to either or both programs.
Patrons can contribute to the Leroy Merritt Center for the Art of Joseph Sheppard, establish an endowment to support future Arts Program exhibitions and events, establish an acquisition endowment for the arts, contribute works of art to UMGC, or work with our Advancement team to set up a living trust/planned giving program.
