CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
The Art for Always capital campaign is generating the funding to complete the 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. LeMoyne Arts was the grateful recipient of a one million dollar Arts, Culture and Heritage Grant from Tallahassee’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) which is being 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. 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. FINANCIAL GOALS The Art for Always campaign goal Grand Total is $2,700,000. This includes $2,200,000 for building acquisition, renovation, garden expansion and enhancements. Once these goals have been met, we will continue to pursue $500,000 to establish a facilities endowment to ensure sustainable maintenance of the facilities. |
