Together, #WeMakePenland an inspiring place that fosters individual and artistic growth through creative practice and discovery.
Make a gift today and help us reach our Giving Day goal of 300 donors in 24 hours. A gift of any size makes a difference! If we reach our goal, we will secure a $5,000 challenge from a group of anonymous donors.
Once you've made a gift, use it to encourage others to join in by sharing your gift and your story on social media with the hashtag #WeMakePenland. Penland students are inspired by each other, so the more you talk about it, the better!
#WeMakePenland a community that extends far and wide. Over the past 24 hours, you’ve helped us generate 342 gifts and over $20,000 for Penland’s programs, scholarships, staff, studios, and more—that's huge! Thank you all so much for showing us what love and community look like. Penland couldn’t thrive without caring, generous folks like you.
We hope to see you here on the mountain sometime soon!
