Exhibitions, youth outreach programs, public lectures, publications, and general operations are supported in part by the Board of Trustees, patrons, and members of the Evanston Art Center. Tuition and donations to our programs and classes are also key elements in the EAC's funding package. In addition, a significant part of the budget is raised through corporate and private contributions, foundation grants, and fundraising events such as the Spring Benefit Art Auction. The Evanston Art Center is supported in part by funds from the Illinois Arts Council, an agency of the state, and the general membership.
