We believe that everyone can make art and music and everyone should.
We also believe that everyone can support the arts. . . and we hope that they will.
Whether you choose to become a member of our Friends Circle (individuals making gifts of $100+) or our Leadership Circle (individuals making gifts of $5,000+), your support at any level is greatly appreciated and makes an impact on the cultural vitality of CSMA and your community.
