With a 5-year commitment to Emerging Artists, you can support the foundation of ROY’s future.

Join the Giving Circle: Friends of Emerging Artists

Annual Pledge of $1000

ROY G BIV has been a cornerstone of Columbus's art scene since 1989, cultivating emerging artists, offering a platform for creativity, experimentation, and connection, and presenting thought-provoking exhibitions free to the public that challenge and inspire.

But today, we face a critical juncture.

ROY G BIV is supported 100% by philanthropy, and without a robust plan for support, we will not be able to sustain our vital mission.

To ensure we continue to nurture the next generation of artists, we’re launching ROY G BIV Friends of Emerging Artists. By pledging $1,000 or more annually for the next 5 years, you’re helping secure the sustainability of our mission and the future of the artists we support.

This initiative is not just important; it's urgent and essential for our survival and growth.

The “Friends of Emerging Artists” is more than just a fundraising initiative; it's an invitation to be part of something transformative. By joining the initiative with a yearly donation of $1,000 or more with a commitment of 5 years, you're not just supporting a gallery – you're investing in the future of art itself. You're providing emerging artists in your community with the platform they need to grow, experiment, and push the boundaries of their art practice.

In the spirit of community and art appreciation, we invite you to join our unique mission. If you have been a past member, supporter, or friend of ROY, we would be thrilled to welcome you back and share the excitement surrounding ROY’s future. If you are new to ROY, please consider joining us as one of Columbus's most enduring non-profit institutions.
