A virtual fundraiser to fully equip the JRI Kitchen at Salina Art Center for events, rentals, and culinary arts classes for everyone!

 

How can you help?

A kitchen is at the heart of so many great memories. We want our community to build memories in our new kitchen!

Many things go into bringing our new culinary arts space to life. You can help us by making a donation, purchasing a specific item, or even crowdfunding to buy a big item. We accept credit cards, cash, and checks. We can even invoice you. 

Have questions? Contact Misty Serene at mserene@salinaaartcenter.org or call 785-833-6444. 

Everyone who donates will be invited to a special sneak peek at the new kitchen before opening day! Plus, we have something extra for every donor who commits $500 or more or buys a major appliance. 

Here’s what we need:
