The Peggy & Fred Paxton Challenge

Give once.
Inspire twice.

This summer, every gift to Yeiser Art Center can be matched dollar for dollar. Help us unlock $5,000 and open more doors to art, learning, and creative discovery.

One gift. Twice the possibility: Art changes what a community believes is possible.

For nearly seventy years, Yeiser Art Center has connected Paducah through creativity, education, and artistic excellence. Your matched gift strengthens exhibitions, arts education, community programs, and the preservation of one of our region's most important cultural institutions.

Whether you give $25 or $2,500, your contribution goes twice as far for artists, students, families, and the creative future of our community.

Donate online to the Peggy and Fred Paxton Challenge at The Community Foundation's secure portal, which is already set to benefit Yeiser Art Center.
