You can donate directly to the Department of Art and Design here: https://dayofgiving.fresnostate.edu/giving-day/31311/donate Your generosity on this important day makes it possible for us to offer scholarships to deserving students, special programming, pay for materials and supplies, and other crucial tasks not covered by our regular department budget. In this year, our department is struggling more than usual due to the budget cuts to all the university caused by the loss of revenue due to Covid-19. We need your help more than ever in this difficult year to bring the amazing cultural programming, art exhibitions, lectures, and other events that we work so hard to bring to the community. Your support means the world to us!

Today one of our Fresno State Alum reached out and wants an artist to create a gift for her to give in honor of someone's achievement with their company. She was asking for a sculpture or a drawing of this person. Please reach out to her to see what she exactly she wants! There will be payment for the art. Call Beverly Raine at 256-7605 for details.

Reposted @emobunnycomic from @artivisminitiative with @get_repost "This Is A Movement, Not a Moment" is a gallery show which seeks to continue the conversation... around the Black Lives Matter movement by amplifying artists/art that speak to historical and contemporary issues of racial injustice. The show invites artists of various mediums to engage in a conversation around racial justice through their art. One good conversation can shift the direction of change forever. - Linda Lambert See the link in our bio for more details on the show and guidelines for submissions. Our goal is to display art which educates our communities, sparks conversation, and ignites necessary change and to support our local artists. The ARTivism Initiative is dedicated to lifting the voices of Black artists; our goal is to feature a majority of Black artists (ex:, 70% Black-identifying artists and 30% non-black allies; inspired by the @rice_initiative ).
