As we approach the end of another incredible year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and dedication to the Art League of Ocean City. Your contributions have helped to create a thriving community that celebrates creativity, learning, and the arts in our region. Thanks to you, we have been able to provide a space where both established and emerging artists can showcase their work, and where we can nurture an appreciation for the arts in all who visit us.
I am truly honored to have accepted the role of President of the Board of Directors for the coming year. Over the years, my time as a board member and now as President has been a profound opportunity to witness the remarkable growth of artists, young and old. The Art League is not just a center for cultivating talent—it is a haven that nurtures bonds, fosters a sense of belonging, and strengthens our community. I’ve seen young artists take their first bold steps in sharing their work and seasoned creators finding renewed inspiration. It’s a place that listens when a person’s voice might otherwise go unheard amidst the noise, where emerging musicians find their spotlight, and writers share their evolving prose. These moments remind me that the Art League is so much more than a gallery; it’s a space where creativity and connection thrive.
I look forward to working with all of you to continue the vital work of our mission into the future. However, we cannot achieve this without the generous support of our members, friends, and supporters like you.
As part of our year-end efforts, we are reaching out to ask for your financial contribution to help sustain the work we do. Your donation will directly support our exhibitions, educational programs, community outreach, and initiatives that bring the arts to life for people of all ages and backgrounds. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant difference in helping us maintain and grow the art community we all value so much.
We hope you will consider making a donation as part of your end-of-year giving. Your generosity will allow us to continue enriching our community with meaningful arts experiences. You can donate online, by mail, or in person at our facility.
On behalf of the entire Art League of Ocean City Board and staff, I thank you for your continued commitment. Your support is the foundation of everything we do, and I am excited to see what we can accomplish together in the year ahead.
Warm regards,
Crystal Collins
President-Elect, Board of Directors
