Join the Ryman Arts Patron Circle
Make a difference for young artists! Join the Ryman Arts Patron Circle, our new support group of top individual and corporate supporters of young artists at Ryman Arts. Patron Circle members help ensure Ryman Arts’ financial stability as we grow to reach more students. Our young artists have the passion and talent to pursue their dreams; your financial support fuels their potential. At the same time, Patron Circle members will benefit from opportunities to deepen their relationship with us through invitations to special events and other benefits. All Patron Circle donors are featured in our annual highlights publication and on our website for the year.
Your gift will transform lives. The Patron Circle allows us to meet our greatest needs for program support. The examples below indicate some of the ways your contribution impacts young people.
Friend $500 - $999
We believe each young artist should receive high quality art supplies, to ensure all new students start with the tools they need, regardless of their economic background. Gifts at this level may provide professional quality art supplies for 5 to 10 students.
Benefits include newsletters, student art catalog, invitations to student graduation and reception, and two invitations to a special event during the year.
Advocate $1,000 - $2,499
We believe all Ryman Arts students can go on to higher education; gifts at this level may provide college or career workshops to give teens the practical information, guidance and inspiration they need to plan their future.
