Capital Campaign
Help CMA Make Room for Art by Making a Gift to the Capital Campaign Today!
On October 1, 2011, CMA opened a new 10,000 square-foot museum and hands-on art-making space on Charlton Street in SoHo. Immersed in the creative context of professionally curated exhibitions and inspired by our international collection of children’s art, more young artists now have access to more art making, more often, and with the best tools available. Please join the donors who have, as of December 31, 2011, contributed $5.6 million toward our $6.8 million goal. We are so grateful to this community of generous leaders who believed in CMA’s mission and capacity prior to the completion of construction. The names emblazoned on our donor wall demonstrate support from government officials, individual donors, foundations and corporations. Your tax-deductible gift is critical at this time for CMA to complete the capital campaign by the end of 2012.
