Dear Members,
The uncertainties of the Pandemic continue to drag on, and the Ridgewood Art Institute and organizations like it struggle with new safety protocols. We will announce our new schedules and safety measures as we come closer to re-opening.
Membership dues typically cover only about a third of the RAI’s expenses. The costs of increased cleaning, and improving the air circulation in the studios are substantial. We will not be collecting Membership dues until classes can begin.
We do ask that you consider making a donation to the RAI at this time. You can donate by clicking the Donate button below or by mailing a check to the Ridgewood Art Institute at 12 East Glen Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450.
Your generosity affirms your commitment to The Ridgewood Art Institute and to continuing the traditional heritage first started by Arthur Maynard and the influences of Frank DuMond, which are still alive today with our talented and wonderful Instructors.
Please help us by donating generously. These months of separation and reflection have reinforced our belief that the membership of the Ridgewood Art Institute is a precious community. We look forward to being together again soon in our beautiful studios, sharing ideas and developing friendships old and new.
Thank you for your consideration,
Carl Holst
President, RAI
