Annual Giving Campaign

Your contributions help us care for the art in our Collection and support our dedicated staff to continue to engage a diverse community in the discovery and enjoyment of the visual arts.

Dear McNay Community, 

During this year’s annual giving campaign, we invite you to celebrate the power of Community Through Art with us. 

Art has an extraordinary ability to bring people together, connecting us across generations, backgrounds, and experiences. In the coming months, we’ll share stories of members from our community whose lives have been enriched by the McNay. From a docent who continues in retirement to inspire others through the arts, to a high school student building confidence and leadership skills through our Teen Art Guide program, to a family creating lasting memories while nurturing a love of art that spans generations. 

Meaningful experiences and lasting connections like these are possible because of generous supporters like you. Your gift will help ensure that the McNay remains a place of belonging where people of all ages can learn, reflect, create, and build lasting connections.  

 As we approach the end of 2026, we hope you’ll consider making a year-end gift to support our mission of building Community Through Art. Together, we can ensure that this transformative power continues to enrich lives for generations to come. 

Warmly,
