At the Chehalem Cultural Center, we believe that

CULTURE IS A VERB!

**** UPDATE 5/25: WOW!! Our community has shown up in a BIG way to keep our scholarship program thriving. We’ve blown past our original goal of $6,000 and - thanks to you - have raised $9,300 IN JUST ONE WEEK to ensure that arts & culture stay accessible to all, regardless of their income.

Can we make it to $10,000? With only $800 more to go, if 16 people give $50 we’ll achieve this incredible feat!

**UPDATE 5/24: With our original $6,000 goal achieved, CCC Board Member and artist Mark Terry has issued a challenge to our community to raise an extra $1,000 for scholarships and is offering a $500 match to get us there!

If 20 People Give $25 By The End of the Day, We'll Earn Our Match - and Raise An Extra $1,000 for Our Scholarship Program!

If you've already given, please consider sharing our campaign link with others to help us earn our match!

We know that the most impactful experiences with culture are those rooted in tangible interactions with art. That's why we offer opportunities to engage with the arts and find your voice in a theatre class, build community in a multi-generational embroidery circle, experience the transformative power of music, and see how personal stories can be translated to canvas and beyond in our public gallery.

We believe that engaging with art and culture sparks new ideas, creates bonds, and fosters meaningful conversations. That's why we 're here - to gather and build our community through these experiences together. We are an inclusive space where everyone can discover, share, and celebrate creative expression and connect with the stories it reveals.

Financial barriers can easily prevent some people from engaging with the arts. That's why we work hard to ensure that no one feels that art and culture is financially inaccessible to them through our scholarship program. With your help, in 2022 we awarded over $19,000 in scholarships to both youth and adults.

We are committed to continuing our legacy of accessible programming available to everyone in our community, but we need your help to keep our scholarship program thriving.

From May 17th - 24th, we are raising $6,000 - the equivalent of sending 37 students to our popular summer camps at no cost to them. By contributing in any amount, you help us keep the arts accessible for all and ensure that no one is turned away from the CCC due to financial hardship.

Join us today and give now! Your gift helps ensure arts and culture remain accessible to everyone in our community.

To thank you for your support, we'll send you a free "Culture Is A Verb" sticker!

A major "THANK YOU!" to Chehalem Cultural Center board members who donated the funds to cover the platform and card processing fees for Givebutter so 100% of your donation goes toward scholarships!
