Gifts to Museum of Art (MoA) contribute to...
For this One Day One SMC, the Museum of Art (MoA) seeks $5,000 to support the exhibition display. Display provides a pivotal entry point for visitors to understand and learn about objects. As a museum, we are charged with presenting objects to the public and ensuring the safety of these objects. Sometimes, these two charges can come at odds with one another. Often visitors see artwork hung on walls, sculptures placed on pedestals, and digital art played through projectors. Each display is carefully installed with unique needs, balancing accessibility and preservation of the objects. For archival materials, objects need controlled spaces that visitors can easily view and read. The museum plans to build (in-house) two display cases to highlight related archival materials in the fall 2023 exhibitions. Expenses for materials can be pricey, and we need your help. So please consider donating. Any amount helps make a difference. Know that when you visit our galleries next fall and experience our new display cases, you made that magic happen!

Today we've been celebrating One Day One SMC across campus, and from our mobile devices and desktop computers. You have made this giving day challenge a success by joining, giving, and sharing about our 24-hour giving challenge.
We have until midnight tonight to exceed expectations, and continue to support our favorite Sant Mary's academic programs, including scholarships, endowments, student-centered experiences, and more!
Please check on how your giving area is doing and see how you can help. And, we have matching and challenge gifts waiting to be fulfilled!
Let's make every gift, and every minute count until 11:59 tonight, when the page closes forever. Consider making one more gift, or sharing to just one more person in your network. Go Gaels!
The Gaels have come out in full force! We have hit our 1,000 donor goal and there is still much potential to fulfill before the day is done.
Let’s continue to push forward! Your generous gifts support creative arts, athletic endeavors, student access to research opportunities, and a wide array of programming that make Saint Mary’s education exceptional and unique.
