Fund For The Future

We did it!! With your generosity and contributions throughout 2024, we raised $500,000  in honor of our 50th year! These funds are supporting Kala’s artist residencies, arts education, exhibitions and public programs, as well as providing a new source of income for capacity building, renovating art-making space, and buying new equipment.

We continue to welcome support for Kala’s Fund for the Future as we complete the build out of the sculpture annex and purchase new equipment for the annex as well as Kala’s print shop and digital lab! We plan to open the annex March 1, 2025.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

With your support, we’ve built out a new 600 sq. ft. multi-use art-making space  in Kala’s building. We’ve starting purchasing new art-making tools and equipment, continuing in the Kala tradition of experimenting across media and from the digital to the handmade. In the sculpture annex we have a wood shop, kiln and small ceramics area, digital embroidery machines, sewing machines, a loom, and more. Finally, we’ll train artists and staff on new equipment. These projects will deepen the work we do supporting artists and engaging the community.

The Fund for the Future aligns with Kala’s  2023-2025 Strategic Plan,  investing in artist engagement, service, and support with a focus on Kala’s core values – creativity and transformation. Thank you for helping add to Kala’s high quality spaces for experimentation, reciprocity, and empowerment and make sure Kala is thriving for 50 more years!

Thank you for being part of Kala’s creative community and for your support for Kala’s Fund for the Future!
