Unleash Creativity

When you invest in the arts, you invest in potential.

At artsPlace, we believe every stroke of a brush, every note played, and every word written holds the potential to transform lives and communities. It’s in these moments of connection, exchange, and brave exploration that change happens.

By embracing the creative potential of every individual, we empower all peoples to tap into their passions, discover their unique voice, and contribute to a vibrant and prosperous Bow Valley. But we can’t do it without you.

As a charitable organization, artsPlace relies on the generosity of donors and supporters like you: artists, arts lovers, and community builders who know that what happens in studios and on stages matters now more than ever before.

Your support makes the difference.

Whether it’s a one-time, recurring, or legacy gift, thoughtful planning allows you to maximize your support while protecting your financial future. Talk to us about how you can make the most of your contribution.

Donate Monthly

Giving monthly is one of the most affordable and effective ways to make a difference. By committing to a recurring donation, you can make a significant impact with bite-sized monthly investments. Your consistent support gives us the stability to plan and expand our programming, ensuring the arts and creativity remain accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities.

Donate Monthly

Donate Securities

Donating securities (stocks, bonds or mutual funds) allows you to have more impact with your gift. If you sell your investment and then donate the proceeds, you owe capital gains tax on the amount your investment increased over time. But you can donate your shares directly to artsPlace, and there are no capital gains tax owed at all. And you receive a tax receipt for the full amount donated. You get a larger tax credit and give more!
