Public Art Endowment Trustees

Become a Trustee

Trustees choose to make a commitment at one of three stewardship levels: $25,000+ to become an Endowment Trustee, $10,000 or $5,000 to become a Trustee. Any of these commitments may be paid over five years and confer a lifetime position as a Trustee. The more you give, the bigger your vote, but the maximum number of votes you can accumulate is 5. At the $25,000+ level, Endowment Trustees also are eligible to help determine the project budget as well as cull an initial pool of artist prospects. Please contact us for more information.
