Donations still being accepted for

Art Kits for school-age kids
Make sure to select the "Art Kits" option from the dropdown menu.
Donate Today!

Through December 15, the QCC is again hosting an art supply drive for local “art kits” to be donated to our community’s school-age children. We held a successful drive last year and distributed 57 art kits to local youth, raising over $800 in donations. This year, the need is even greater, with much schooling happening at home because of the pandemic. Your monetary donation will go toward buying basic art materials – a sketch book, watercolor set, and colored pencils. Please donate today! Go to questacreative.org and select the Art Kits options in the dropdown menu of the donation button.

You can still "Shop Local" for the holidays at NorthernNewMexicoArtists.com
