Help with Upkeep of the Barn
As you know, maintaining a home requires care and attention. This year, we needed to replace our HVAC system. After a harsh winter, we knew our heating needed an upgrade.
The cost to ensure that our members and guests remain comfortable is $40,000.
Your tax-deductible donation will play an important role in helping us maintain this historic and important building.
June 30th UPDATE: Thanks to generous donors, we have raised $11,500! Help us find the remaining funds to keep RAI strong!
Fund Scholarships
For Young People
Each year, RAI provides meaningful scholarships to our high school graduating art students who will be pursuing arts related courses of study.
Help us support the next generation of artists by purchasing notecards from one of our esteemed students, Annika Ginde.
Three folded notecards for $10, available at the Barn.
A donation at any level will help us continue this important tradition.
Please consider giving today.
