It’s the kick-off for our “30-Something” campaign, and it’s the day that your donation, no matter how big or small, can help The Art League win more than $15,000 in additional grants and prizes to help fund our Madison Annex Project. We need you to help us spread the word and tell your friends and colleagues why The Art League is so important to you.

Where to donate: On May 2, between 12:00 midnight – 11:59 pm, go to http://spring2action.razoo.com/story/The-Art-League and make a donation!
