Help Shape the Future of Museums

CCL’s supporters share our belief that museums need directors grounded in art, and that curators, with their intellectual rigor and devotion to artists, are uniquely suited to lead. To advance this vision, we invite you to consider the form of sustained giving that best aligns with your philanthropic goals.

  • Give Monthly, Make a Lasting Impact

    By establishing a monthly gift, you provide CCL with consistent support that allows us to plan with confidence and continue to advance our mission.

“It is important to have different voices at the table, and I think this was facilitated by free tuition. This move gives more freedom and equity to all participants. We all start on an even playing field.”
