Donating With Purpose<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cLift Up\u201d the Cedar Key Arts Center for All<\/h3>\n

Everyone deserves access to the Cedar Key Arts Center\u2019s second-floor exhibits and year-round workshops.<\/p>\n

Campaign Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since Hurricane Helene struck in 2024, the Arts Center elevator has been out of service. Even before the storm, it was unreliable.<\/p>\n

Replacement is underway as of March 2026 to ensure everyone has access to the second-floor exhibits and year-round workshops.<\/p>\n

As a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization with a limited operating budget, the Cedar Key Arts Center Board committed the $57,000 investment needed to uphold our mission of promoting the arts in our community.<\/p>\n

However, this investment has severely depleted the operating budget that is essential to our continued service to the community.<\/p>\n

Our Purpose<\/h2>\n

If access to the arts for those with mobility challenges matters to you, please consider making a donation.<\/p>\n

Your support will directly contribute to creating a more inclusive gallery space where everyone can participate fully and experience the arts without barriers.<\/p>\n

Mission Statement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the understanding that creativity is inherent and vital to the development of humanity, our purpose is to nurture and encourage the arts.<\/p>\n
