Community Support & Donations Program

At Opus, we believe in contributing to the arts community through a company-wide Donation Program. Our Donation Program supports non-profit visual arts organizations, societies and schools pursuing visual art and art education initiatives in their communities. We believe it is businesses like ours which have an important role to play in helping bridge the gap for many non-profit societies which operate on little and sometimes no funding.

In addition to our donations to arts groups, we also share their stories and events in our monthly Visual Arts newsletter which is circulated for free to over 35,000 artists and cultural businesses. This exposure helps to promote these events to a broader audience and maximize the opportunity for participation. We regularly hear feedback from event coordinators that they were happily overwhelmed after posting their news or story in our newsletter.

Our donation program is focused on providing support to qualifying groups with discounts, donations of art materials for events, or gift certificates which can be used towards the purchase of art materials at Opus. Please note that we do not generally provide cash donations, but instead support groups by providing the art materials needed to make your event a success.
