Sponsor Education Programs at TMA

TMA enhances the quality of life for everyone who calls the Fox Cites home as an important cultural center for those working and living here. Sponsor one of our programs for $2,500 to $25,000 below to help the visual arts in our community and as a platform for name or brand recognition.

Business partnerships are tax-deductible and, most importantly, provide the museum with the critical support needed to achieve our mission of inspiring and connecting all people through creativity and the visual arts.

Project Purpose

Annually in July

Project Purpose is a collaborative mural experience with artists Neo & Valerie Medina. The program focuses on uplifting and highlighting students in the Special Education Program. Students and the artists collaboratively paint a mural on their own school.

This project gives students the ability to use art as a form of expression to emphasize their own unique abilities. Many students don’t communicate in the same way as others do, and they have talents that others also do not have. This event gives students the freedom to let their talents be seen!
