Erie Gives Day

Tuesday, August 12th, 2025

When you give to the Erie Art Museum on Erie Gives Day, you're doing more than supporting a Museum, you're helping preserve a vital part of Erie’s cultural landscape.

Your gift helps us care for a historic building, support local artists and programs, and grow access to art in ways that invite everyone to participate and belong for generations to come.

Preserve

The Museum conserves the historic Customs House as well as a collection of over 8,000 objects.

Support
