teachers and chaperones. While the reward
for Myrtle was sharing her love for art, she
is now aware of just how much the visit to
the CMA meant to the children.
“Dear Mrs. Robinson,
Thank you for sending the
whole third grade to the
Art Museum… It was the
best day in the history of
the world!”

Arts education is at the core of the CMA’s
mission. With the support of our members
and donors like Myrtle, we continue
connecting people to visual arts while
making our community a better place to
live, work and play.
“We loved our time at the museum! We
could not have done it without Myrtle
Robinson. It’s so important to expose
children to the various types of art and its
history,” said Jeri, a third grade teacher at
St. John Neumann. We invite you to share
your love of art by supporting the CMA’s
educational mission. n
Support for our education programs
comes in all shapes and sizes. From a
contribution to our Annual Fund to a
coordinated effort to bring a class to the
Museum for a field trip, there are many
ways to give and support education at
the CMA. We love working with our
donors to find personal ways to make a
difference at the Art Museum. To discuss
your philanthropic goals, please contact
our director of development, Lowndes
Macdonald, at 803.343.2172.
