2025 Appeal

At the Menino Arts Center, “Your Donations at Work” is more than a phrase — it’s a promise. Every dollar you give directly fuels creativity, connection, and community. We want to spotlight one incredible impact of your generosity – because of donors like you, we’re able to retain and support our exceptional curator, Sasja Lucas.

Sasja does more than curate exhibitions — she brings them to life. She designs themes, recruits jurors, receives and installs artwork (a surprisingly complex and creative task that often takes a team of volunteers). But her role goes far beyond logistics. Sasja is a gifted artist, a mentor to emerging talent, and a passionate advocate for inclusion in the arts.

Thanks to her leadership, the Menino Arts Center has become a dynamic hub that amplifies underrepresented voices, nurtures new artists, and makes art an accessible, everyday experience for our community. Her vision inspires others. Her dedication is unmatched. And her impact is immeasurable.

Your donations ensure Sasja is compensated fairly, that her creative vision can thrive, and that the programs she leads — from youth-led shows to community-driven exhibits — continue to grow.

This year, our fundraising focus is impact. We want you to see how your support is shaping lives and transforming spaces. Supporting Sasja is one of the most meaningful ways your gift serves the community. Will you contribute $25, $100, or $250 today to help us keep this momentum going? Every gift counts. Every dollar matters.

Join us in creating a lasting legacy of art and creativity in Hyde Park.
