Giving Tuesday at the Housatonic Museum of Art

A 24-hour campaign to raise funds for the HMA

The HCC Foundation supports its students and campus community to ensure that the college is an accessible educational resource for primarily low-income, marginalized populations. Nearly $1 million is invested annually to support students through scholarships, emergency awards and more.

Story

I believe that you know that experiencing art can bring a moment of peace when you most need it. We've all felt overwhelmed by the day-to-day challenges of life, and our students are no exception.

Many of our community college students are balancing full-time jobs and taking care of family members in addition to their classes to further their education. They are so busy juggling life that they rarely have time for anything else.

That's why we bring the art to them.

I came to the gallery while I was waiting for my class to start. It was nice to look around and take my mind off things before continuing about my day. - L.H.

You make it possible for us to give students like L.H. a chance to take a deep breath and find mental clarity during a tough day. You know how transformative it can feel when you find a safe space to decompress - a place where you can find yourself again amidst the chaos.

We can only create this gallery space for L.H. and students like her with your help. We rely on your support to care for our art collection, create new exhibitions, and offer free programs.

Can I count on you to give students like L.H. a moment of peace today?
