WHY YOUR SPONSORSHIP MATTERS

More than a celebration, the LRMA 25th Anniversary Gala is an investment in the future of art, education, and community. As a unique gathering place where art, history, culture, and education converge, the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art enriches the lives of students and visitors through world-class exhibitions, educational programming, and stewardship of a collection of more than 6,000 works of art. Philanthropic support makes this work possible, helping the Museum expand access, inspire lifelong learning, engage renowned artists, preserve cultural resources, and prepare the next generation of creative professionals. Your sponsorship helps ensure that LRMA remains a vibrant and transformative cultural resource for our region for years to come.
