"I can't put into words what that opportunity meant to him and to us."

Make an impact. Contribute to bring art to your community:

"When my father-in-law read in the paper about SAMA’s upcoming Plein Air Paint Out, I thought it was a great opportunity for Frankie to spend a few days doing what he loves! The experiences he has gained are unforgettable. He met incredible artists who offered him encouragement and shared their experiences and techniques. I hope you can find it in your hearts and budget to support our local art programs. With this funding SAMA can provide a classroom with a variety of programs that serve families and youth in our neighborhood. Help add color to the world!" - Pam Orzehowski
