In January 2008, we held a preview fundraising luncheon at the gallery to solicit contributions to both our renovation project and to secure pledges for future operating costs. The gallery was packed, and the enthusiasm for ArtRage was palpable! The total raised was just over $19,000 in donations and multi-year pledges! Since then, many others have generously pledged or contributed. Please consider joining them in making ArtRage a viable organization with a strong community base. A pledge of even $10 a month will help to create both the financial and community support base necessary for our growth and development.

• One pledge of $10.00 per month provides - One year of website hosting or one month of phone & internet service!
• 12 pledges of $20.00 per month provides - One year of heat and lights!
• 10 pledges of $25.00 per month provides - One-half a year’s rent!

Please consider joining our founding donors by donating and/or contributing a yearly pledge. If you pledge and/or donate by our Grand Opening, October 8, 2008, you will also be listed as a founding donor of ArtRage. If you pledge and donate we will list the combined amount. See a list of our founding donors (so far) here.
