Giving

We are a grant- and donor-funded nonprofit that serves ten counties of Eastern Oregon, advocating for artists, fostering creative expression, and supporting arts education. We need engaged citizens like you to help us make that happen.

Generosity comes in many forms. We appreciate and honor all donations we receive - large or small - and we see community-oriented giving as a sum greater than its parts. As we work to bring more arts opportunities into the community and support those that are already here, we empower your donation to become the best it can be.

All donations to Art Center East are eligible for a tax deduction. We are a 501 (c) 3 member-based non-profit arts services organization headquartered in La Grande, OR.

Help Save Art Center East 

With closure required to protect our community from the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Art Center East is at a crucial juncture. We rely on income from class registrations, gallery sales, and building rentals to pay for staff and overhead costs. At this time, we have no immediate way to recoup these losses. The Board of Directors significantly reduced overhead costs immediately after closing the center by furloughing all part-time staff. With no other cuts to make, we are seeking community support to fund our basic expenses, keeping the organization solvent long enough to adapt to this drastically new landscape. Thank you for helping to preserve Art Center East's 43 years of hard work building a home for community arts and culture in Union County. We have more work to do.

Another way to make a donation…

The Oregon Cultural Trust also offers you another opportunity to support the arts in a unique way. If you make a charitable tax-deductible donation to an Oregon non-profit cultural organization such as Art Center East, you can make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust for a tax credit. For example, if you owe $1,000 in state taxes and you make a $100 matching gift to the Oregon Cultural Trust, you would pay only $900 in taxes.

Money donated to the Trust returns to Eastern Oregon in the form of grants and cash support for each county. Donate to the Oregon Cultural Trust today! In 2016-17, Union County will receive over $9,000 in funding, which is administered by the Union County Cultural Coalition.
