Donations made to the Appleton Museum of Art, College of Central Florida, directly provide the community with thoughtful, entertaining and engaging exhibitions and programs, as well as outreach to the community and schools. We couldn’t do that without your generosity.
Museum admissions and memberships cover about 5% of our operating expenses. The rest comes from other sources, including people just like you who love art and want to share that passion with others. Your generous support, in any amount, will truly make a difference.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of individuals and businesses in our community. If you would like to learn more about giving to the Appleton, please contact Victoria Billig, 352-291-4455 ext. 1294, or billigv@cf.edu

Other Ways to Give
Sculpture Walk & Garden
Help us kick start the second phase of our Sculpture Walk and Garden and take this scenic and dynamic space to the next level. Through generous donations made by our members and visitors, as well as funds provided by granting organizations and special endowments, our grounds currently display five large-scale pieces of public art. Sculpture pads with named bricks and pavers have been added to several works, creating a safe display area for our works of public art, as well as a stable area for visitors to have a 360 degree view of these unique outdoor works of art.
Our vision is to not only add more sculpture, but to create a walkable, well-lit pathway with seating that connects them all together, educational signage at each sculpture stop and a guided walking tour accessible via our mobile app that promotes health and wellness.
We are currently fundraising for the project with $100 bricks (8×4 in.), $250 pavers (8×8 in.) and $5,000 benches. Bricks and pavers are placed in the circular sculpture pads and benches along the pathway. Pay tribute to your passion for the visual arts, your time as a volunteer, a friend or family member, or commemorate a special occasion. Your generous support, in any amount, truly makes a difference.
