The majority of membership support enables the Donkey Mill to give it right back to our community in the form of keeping many of our events free of charge and offering exclusive discounts for our members for tuition and gift shop purchases. Among our priceless membership perks is open studio access to our ceramics, print, and metals studios. Memberships are also a show of strength and unity in this fractured world. We currently have over 350 members and proudly share this statistic in every grant application we submit to governmental and private institutional funding sources. A strong member base demonstrates the Donkey Mill’s relevance in the community.

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
Your gift makes it possible for us to share the responsibility for some of life’s most beautiful lessons. Thank you for being our partner in this wonderful work!

Volunteers are the movers and shakers of our community art center. Whether you’re able to volunteer every day, or once a year, we’ve got a task that will fit your schedule: from event staffing and classroom support, to maintenance and cleanup. Every single donation of time and effort enriches our community (and we have plenty to do)!
