The Mountains are Calling Exhibit Fundraising

My dream is to bring this exhibit to life on the walls of the gallery in Asheville and Raleigh.

Overall, the exhibit is expected to reach about 50,000 people. After being on show, the exhibit will join my other work as part of the permanent collections at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Would you be willing to help make my dream a reality?

I would be very grateful for any amount you could give to help me share the unique and powerful story of The Mountains are Calling.

I’ve created different levels of giving, each with different advertising opportunities. At the very top level, you may invite up to ten people to a private reception, tour of the historic site, and sneak preview of the exhibit, and some signed artwork.

At the top two levels, your name and/or business name will appear on all print materials associated with the exhibit.

At the top three levels, you and/or your business will get a public thank you across our social media channels.

Patrons, Donors, Sponsors, and Supporters also will have their name and/or business name listed in a panel in the exhibit gallery (about 50,000 visitors expected).

The levels of giving are outlined below.
