Annual Fund
We rely on the generosity of private and public donors for crucial funding beyond our membership dues. These gifts directly impact our programs, classes, lectures, and events that further creativity in Leelanau County and beyond.
GAAC strives to foster new conversations through innovative exhibitions, Gallery Talks, and thought-provoking learning opportunities. Exhibitions at GAAC are more than simply works of art hanging on the gallery walls. They are engaging, participatory experiences that connect us by creating a dialogue through artist talks, panel discussions, interactive gallery spaces, and digital resources. We connect with people through our programs, exhibitions, and classes to encourage a deeper relationship with art that resonates in our everyday lives in meaningful ways. You help provide creative opportunities for children, families, and individuals throughout the year—many visiting for the first time.
