Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1924, Silvermine has exemplified excellence in art and art education for nearly a century. What attracts some 17,000 artists, students, and visitors annually to Silvermine is the pivotal role it plays as a community-gathering place that deepens understanding and empathy through the transformative power of art.

Supporting the Silvermine Arts Center enables individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies to play a key role in a range of innovative artistic, education, and community programs. When you give to Silvermine the impact your dollar makes is substantial.
