LeMoyne Arts is the grateful recipient of a $1 million Arts, Culture and Heritage Grant from Tallahassee’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to be applied toward the restoration and modernization of its facilities. LeMoyne Arts salutes and thanks the CRA and the City of Tallahassee for this generous provision that represents the cornerstone of its Art for Always capital campaign.
The Art for Always capital campaign is generating the funding to complete the acquisition and renovation of a new home for LeMoyne’s renowned art education program and the expansion and revitalization of LeMoyne’s popular Helen Lind Sculpture Garden that offers an inspirational setting for artists and an ideal gathering place for community events and private functions.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
LeMoyne Arts' overarching goal is to expand and improve its art education programming through the acquisition and renovation of the building located at 131 North Gadsden Street -- immediately adjacent (on the southside) to the LeMoyne Galleries. In addition, LeMoyne is focused on providing physical accessibility to all its facilities and gardens through a garden renovation which will include storm water mitigation, accessible paths and ramps and expanded space for gatherings. The existing ceramics complex currently located in the gardens will be improved and enhanced to allow for a wide variety of pottery firings, workshops, and community events.
The new building, purchased by LeMoyne on July 13, 2021, is two stories, 6,254 square feet with 20 parking spaces, and a small garden area. This building will house modern, accessible classrooms and studios and is pivotal to LeMoyne's investment in and education of this region's youth as well as adults; thereby ensuring Art for Always for one and all.
Here are the financial implications.
$2,200,000 for building acquisition and renovation along with garden expansion and enhancements.
500,000 to establish a facilities endowment to ensure sustainable maintenance of the facilities.
$2,700,000 Grand Total
Because of the CRA grant and LeMoyne's wonderful leadership donors Kelly and Laurie Dozier, Persis and Charlie Rockwood, Raymond and Kathy Bye, Byron Block, Julian Dozier, Majorie Turnbull, and Pamala Doffek, along with many other generous donors, there is less than $1,000,000 remaining to be raised through the Art for Always campaign. Please see the accompanying gift announcements that feature LeMoyne's generous donors.
HOW CAN YOU HELP
LeMoyne Arts offers a variety of gift planning options for you, including outright gifts of cash (please see below for instructions on making out your check), securities, contributions from donor advised funds, employee matching gifts, pledges spread over a scheduled period of time. Further, LeMoyne welcomes corporate and foundation grants, real and personal property, deferred gift provisions under wills, living trusts, designations of retirement plan assets, charitable remainder trusts, other life income gifts, and through signature events such as the Chain of Parks Art Festival. Contributions of life insurance policies and charitable lead trusts are also accepted.
Gifts in any amount are most welcome or you may want to capture the spirit of LeMoyne by contributing at a level that will name a specific location in the new art education building, the gardens, or other designated area. See some of our Naming Opportunities available for honoring your generous giving or a loved one’s legacy.
LeMoyne representatives will be happy to give you a guided tour of LeMoyne, the gardens, and the new building, or will be happy to visit with you personally in your home or office.
