Easy Ways to Support Local Art and Community Nonprofits

I wanted to share some easy ways to get involved in the local Ocean City Maryland art world AND do good for the community too! Here at the Ocean City Center for the Arts we make fundraising fun! Enjoy a stress-free art experience and unleash your inner artist all while raising money for your charity or organization. The charity must be a registered nonprofit and you can register a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 25. Our instructor will guide your group step-by-step as you create a masterpiece— no experience necessary. Make up to $500 for your charity and support the arts in the Ocean City MD area. We offer painting or pottery classes. For a paint party, bring your own beverage & snacks. We will supply the rest. Paints, brushes, canvases, aprons, easels, and an artist to guide you. Same goes for our pottery party; Bring your own beverage & snacks and we will supply the rest. Clay, tools, aprons, and an artist to guide you. You can call the Ocean City Center for the Arts at 410-524-9433 to set up a creative fundraiser today. We have recently had community groups plan fundraisers with us including the American Cancer Society, Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and People's Place.
