Dear CCACC members and friends,

​

I am writing to share an exciting opportunity and invite you to support our efforts to enhance the visitor experience by acquiring a state-of-the-art digital audio-visual system for our art gallery.

As a non-profit leading cultural and services organization in our community, CCACC Art Gallery is committed to providing innovative and immersive art experiences that engage, educate, and inspire our visitors. With your support, we aim to acquire a mobile LED video wall and two interactive kiosks to revolutionize how we present and interpret artworks, exhibitions, forums, workshops, and more.

We envision cutting-edge technology with high-resolution LED displays, and the interactive touchscreen system will enable us to:

​

• Create Immersive Exhibitions: With large displays and multimedia installations, we can transform our gallery space into an immersive environment that captivates and enthralls visitors, enhancing their appreciation for the art on display.​

​​

• Expand Educational Opportunities: Interactive touchscreens and multimedia presentations will provide visitors with access to in-depth information, artist interviews, and educational resources, enriching the understanding of the artwork and its cultural significance.​

​​

• Reach New Audiences: By leveraging digital technology, we can extend the reach of our exhibitions and programs beyond the walls of our gallery, reaching audiences around the world through virtual tours, live-streamed events, and online engagement platforms.​

​​

• Support Artist Innovation: The digital visual system will allow artists to experiment with new forms of expression, including digital art, video installations, and interactive media, fostering creativity and innovation within our community.

​​

We seek your support through our fundraising campaign to realize this vision, ensuring that CCACC Art Gallery remains at the forefront of artistic innovation and cultural enrichment. Your generous donation will directly contribute to purchasing and installing the LED video wall, audio system, and kiosks, which cost about $100,000.

We are applying for a cost-sharing grant for this purpose. Your support will help our chances of winning the grant from the County and double your donation power. We invite you to participate in this transformative initiative and help us create a truly immersive, engaging, and unforgettable gallery experience. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and leave a lasting legacy in our community.
