3 GREAT REASONS TO MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO ADOPT-A-CLASS:

1. OCMA is the only major museum in Orange County where all education programs remain free-of-charge to students and teachers in public schools, and last year served over 6,500 public school students.

2. Students rely on our partnership to provide arts education programs that are often no longer part of a public education. Tours and hands-on art making workshops encourage students to think creatively, and work beyond predictable solutions.

3. Studies continue to affirm that a visual arts education makes a difference. It develops student skills in creativity, critical thinking, communication, tolerance of differences, and teamwork -- important attributes for success in the 21st century.
