Like all not-for-profit community organizations, SJAC faces financial challenges, but we understand that our entire community faces those same challenges. Folks have been reaching out to ask how they can help, but perhaps aren't in a position to sign up for a renewable membership, so we have a new way to donate where you can set your own, one-time amount. Every donation adds up to help us keep our galleries free to the public and our programs running -- thank you for your support! -
After 14 impactful years as SJAC’s Executive Director, our dear friend and colleague Andrew Kierstead will be retiring later this month! At his request, in lieu of a retirement party, he invites friends and well-wishers to contribute to SJAC’s Art Advocacy Fund (choose your own donation amount.) Andrew seeded the Fund this fall with a $5,000 donation from the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation, which he received as part of its prestigious Arts Advocacy Award in recognition of his decades-long contributions to the arts in New Brunswick. Early in 2026, Andrew will work with SJAC staff and the board to determine the most meaningful way to use the funds. On behalf of Andrew and all of us here at SJAC, we thank you sincerely for your generous support! -
