We are establishing this fund to enhance Fine Arts education at Columbia through SOMA Boosters. SOMA Boosters is a 501c3 non-profit organization, so donations are tax-deductible. Proceeds from our fundraising will be used for:

Non-perishable supplies (like new lightboxes);
Arts immersion opportunities (like hiring working artists to workshop with our students and funding field trips to museums);
Supplies and equipment to upkeep the Domareki Gallery Space (teachers regularly paint, repair the walls, and maintain the castor wheels on the moving display walls); and
Supporting the many opportunities our students participate in, mainly through registration fees and framing student work.
