https://cfgg.org/initiatives/public-art-endowment/ The Public Art Endowment was established by a lead gift from the law firm of Schell Bray Aycock Abel and Livingston in honor of the firm’s 20th anniversary. Under the leadership of a Steering Committee made up of Endowment Trustees and chaired by Adair Phifer Armfield, this permanent fund is dedicated to the creation of new community assets. It is
the only fund of its kind in the area and benefits from strong institutional relationships with other arts organizations, including Weatherspoon Art Museum, Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art and the United Arts Council. Full Trustees give gifts of $25,000 or more while Group Trustees join with others to make an aggregate gift of $25,000. This typically translates into a total commitment of $5,000 per couple or individual. Pledges are payable over 5 years and confer permanent Trustee status. Trustees are involved in all aspects of the Endowment including selection of art works and development of related programming, as well as advocacy within the greater community for the Endowment and its mission. Trustees are supported in their work by the Art Selection Committee, made up of arts professionals from around the country and chaired by Nancy Doll, director of Weatherspoon Art Museum. The Public Art Endowment has an initial goal of $2 million. Learn more at:
