Donations: Artists and Collectors

The Art Connection facilitates the art donation process. Local artists and art collectors are the source of art donations.
We do not own or store works of art. Instead we have an image bank which holds visual and other pertinent information about all works available for donation. The nonprofit agencies choose appropriate original art from this image bank. Donations are made directly from the art owner to the nonprofit agency and become the permanent property of the agency.
How to Become an Art Donor
If you, or someone you know, owns original works of art to donate, the process for becoming a donor is simple. Complete a brief informational form and donor agreement and send these with images of the artworks for donation to the Art Connection. We prefer digital images, but slides and high quality prints are acceptable.
