40 Donors Celebrating 40 Years of Perpich

We are turning 40! To celebrate forty years of arts education in the state of Minnesota, Perpich Center is asking 40 people to sign up as sustaining donors. No matter the dollar amount, your monthly giving will benefit our mission, ensuring students from across the state of Minnesota can have barrier-free access to arts education.

Perpich Center for Arts Education was born as the Minnesota Center for Arts Education in 1985, created by the state legislature at the urging of then Gov. Rudy Perpich and First Lady Lola Perpich. (It was renamed in Perpich's honor after his death in 1995.) This year, we are celebrating 40 years of our agency's mission to provide all Minnesota students the opportunity to develop, enhance, and integrate their artistic and academic abilities to their highest potential.
