It was a wonderful day for the Atchison Art Association!

We started work on our new mosaic that will be at the International Forest of Friendship.

And we had our first Adult Art Camp workshop today! We worked on patterned Lino-cuts that we will use for the next workshop. We still have room if you are interested in joining us. 😉

We love adding beauty to our town and teaching others how to express themselves through art! 🤗

Match Day 2026: Help Us Reach Our $10,000 Goal

At the Atchison Art Association, we believe everyone deserves Access to the Arts.

Access to the arts means more than simply opening our doors. It means ensuring every member of our community has the opportunity to experience, create, and engage with art—regardless of age, ability, or financial circumstances.

Our biggest fundraising priority this year is raising $32,000 to construct a permanent accessibility ramp at the Historic Muchnic Gallery. This project will make one of Atchison's most treasured historic homes welcoming and accessible to everyone, allowing more visitors to enjoy exhibitions, educational programs, and community events.

Access also means supporting artists. Through our Artist-in-Residence Program, we provide working artists with studio space, a stipend, and opportunities to connect with the community. In return, our artists help expand arts education throughout Atchison. Our current Artist-in-Residence, Mia Haverkamp, leads our Kids Art Club and many of our youth education programs, inspiring the next generation of artists while continuing her own creative practice.

When you invest in the Atchison Art Association, you're investing in a more vibrant, creative, and inclusive community.

As a special Match Day incentive, any gift of $250 or more automatically includes a Patron of the Arts membership, which comes with:

Discounted pricing on yoga and art education workshops
Personal invitations to opening receptions and events
Free entry into the Community Showcase
Discounts on ticketed events
An annual Art Calendar
Invitations to exclusive members-only events

Our Match Day goal is $10,000, and every gift helps us move closer to making the arts more accessible for everyone in our community.

Thank you for believing in the power of art and for helping us create a more accessible future for Atchison.
