JULY UPDATE: $10,000 Match Met — Thank You! We’re pleased to share that, thanks to your generosity, we successfully met our $10,000 matching challenge last month. This critical milestone brings us significantly closer to our overall mid-year fundraising goal. Read on to learn more about how your support is shaping the future of the arts in our community — and how you can help us continue this important work.
CREATIVITY AT EVERY AGE
OUR GOAL: $70,000 BY JULY 31
And we’re nearly halfway there!
This year we continue to focus on bringing people together and working to ensure that our programs remain accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the moment we’re living in—and to the people in our community. We’re asking for your help to raise $70,000 to keep the Hoffman Center for the Arts thriving in the second half of 2025. Your donation will help us:● Expand programming, including ceramics, writing, horticulture, and visual arts classes
● Support local and visiting artists in the gallery or with teaching opportunities
● Keep programs for all ages affordable and accessible.
● Sustain ongoing exhibitions, readings, events, and workshops that make HCA a creative anchor in Manzanita
YOU MAKE THIS POSSIBLE
I’m so proud of the way our community shows up, for the arts, and for each other. In addition to giving generously toward our matched mid-year goal of raising $70,000 by July 31, you support our mission by volunteering, attending our monthly gallery receptions, taking a class, enjoying coffee in the Wonder Garden, bringing a friend to the Manzanita Writers’ Series, or engaging with any of our programs. Together, we will keep the arts on the North Oregon Coast vibrant and abundant! If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out via my email address below. Let’s find a time to chat in person or on the phone. I look forward to it.
