LORETTO – The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art is thrilled to announce the launch of its Annual Giving Campaign, aimed at fostering art education, preserving cultural heritage, and making art accessible to all members of the community.
The Annual Giving Campaign represents a crucial initiative for SAMA as it seeks to expand its impact and reach within the local community and beyond. With the generous support of donors, the museum aims to enhance its educational programs, curate thought-provoking exhibitions, and host engaging events that celebrate the diversity of artistic expression.
