End of Year Giving
A note from our Director,
At the end of every year, the clock seems to restart, and a new cycle begins. But here at the Arts Council, we believe that a new year can start today. We believe that each day is an opportunity to breathe new life into ourselves, our habits, our practices, and our communities, so that our lives become living prayers to the world we wish to create into being. This is precisely the motivation behind our motto, “Art is Love in Action”. Through creative enterprise and conscious community collaboration, we can create equitable and sustainable prosperity for residents of the SEMO region. When we use our creative resources to solve problems, we are easing the burdens keeping our neighbors from following creative pursuits. With that freedom comes the innovation to start a business, to grow a garden, or to pursue a creative passion. Innovation contributes to the socio-economic stability of the region, helping everyone prosper.
It is our intention to be a part of the solution. So, we are working with partners like The Missouri Arts Council, The Boys & Girls Club, Scout Hall, Spectrum Record Lounge, Yoga East Healing Arts, Golden Eagle Tattoo, DAEOC of Sikeston, Riverside Pottery, The Kellerman Foundation, here. lit, Cape Girardeau Public Schools and others to develop programming rooted in the creative arts as a means of highlighting and developing the cultural assets that already exist in the region.
If you would like to be a part of the exciting happenings in 2025, we encourage you to show your support by attending programs, becoming a member, or by directing your end-of-year contributions to the Arts Council. The resources of your time, your passion, your talent, and your financial support are invaluable to our organization, and we thank you for all you did in 2024 to make the year so successful.

Non-Monetary Donations and Sponsorships
There are times we are looking for non-monetary donations for special programs and events. For example, during First Friday with the Arts each month we offer wine and refreshments to visitors. Or when we have a special event such as Afternoon Tea-Light, we need event-specific decorations that are creative and fun!
