Our 45^th year is a major milestone for our little organization! One that brings pride and celebration for the many years of sharing our creative passions and connecting community. Unfortunately, it also presents a major funding issue for the symposium to overcome. The pandemic, rising expenses and lower that usual attendance have exhausted our financial resources making a fundraising campaign crucial. The Yuma Art Symposium will not survive past our 45^th year if we cannot secure at least fifty thousand dollars in outside funding each year as we move forward.
 
This is no small task, but we have a plan and are confident our community of artists and supporters around the country will help us meet and dare I say exceed our goals.
