Sponsorship Opportunities: Honoring the Artist Fund

For ten years the ArtAbilities Program of the Mailman Center of Child Development has helped children with disabilities realize their artistic talent and experience the triumph and adulation that comes from creating works of art which speak to their spirit.  The project truly has been instrumental in opening up opportunities for “our young artists” and has become a very successful program within the Mailman Center. As a non profit organization we depend upon the generosity of supporters to help us meet the costs of sustaining the ArtAbilities Program.  A philanthropic gift given in honor of one or more of our student artists is a wonderful way to support the program.

The funds will be used to sustain the program and to cover expenses related to the traveling exhibition, the Mailman Center’s permanent collection, funds for students to attend summer art camps and for special research and training programs.  We are pleased to offer the following sponsorship opportunities:
