Endowment Fund

Art by John Bowler

Our goal is to match the original pledged fund of $350,000 to reach $700,000. This will create a consistent contribution to the Placer Artists Tour operating fund, which is integral to sustaining the annual artists tour. 

If you have an idea for a fundraising event or would like to host a gathering, please reach out to endowment fund team leader Cindy Strickland at cindy@placerartiststour.org.  



Thank you for partnering with us in meeting this goal!
