Join our Visionary Leader's Circle to create a profound legacy for Chicago's art and artists.
The Visionary Leaders’ Circle is Hyde Park Art Center’s legacy society. Members of the Visionary Leaders’ Circle have the foresight and generosity to support Chicago art and artists by making planned gift in the years to come to the Art Center.
By designating a planned gift (bequest, charitable trust, annuity, or other means) to Hyde Park Art Center, you establish a legacy that will continue to sustain and advance visual art in Chicago for years to come. The Visionary Leaders’ Circle allows the Art Center to recognize you now for ensuring the progress and long-term success of Hyde Park Art Center artists, educational programming, and partnerships with Chicago’s art community.
A bequest is an easy but important way for you to ensure that your assets are distributed the way you wish. You may designate Hyde Park Art Center as the recipient of a cash gift, a percentage, or residual remainder of your estate or living trust.
