Engage at the highest level and contribute vital funding for BIMA.
BIMA’s Circle program brings together art patrons from across the Puget Sound region and beyond who share a deep commitment and love for the arts and for enhancing BIMA. Annual gifts from Circle members provide crucial support for preserving, collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting the contemporary art and craft of our region. Gifts also fund critically needed arts education and outreach to ensure accessibility to the arts is available to all, including rural communities and schools with limited funding for the arts.
Be a part of this wonderful community and its tradition of giving. Thank YOU for being a special and beloved member of the BIMA family!
