How Funds are Used

As both our signature community event and only fundraiser, the annual Holiday for the Arts show and sale plays a key role in our Guild’s sustainability each year.

Your support of that event makes it possible for the Olive Hyde Art Guild to contribute in the following ways:

• Capital improvements at the Olive Hyde Art Gallery & Center.
• Cost of printing and mailing of publicity postcards announcing each exhibit at the Olive Hyde Art Gallery, and for banners publicizing the events.
• Special exhibits at the Olive Hyde Art Gallery.
• Scholarships for high school seniors and Ohlone students and classroom art supplies for the first place scholarship winner’s art teacher.
• Serra Center Art Workshop for developmentally disabled adults and for framing of their artwork.
• Funding to the Alameda County Fremont Library for purchase of children’s art books.
• Funding to Abode Services for children’s art supplies.
• City of Fremont Human Services Youth & Family Services awards for Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day Art Competition.
• Funding for Ohlone College’s Annual Juried Student Art Awards Exhibition.
• Funding for other key programs supporting the arts, including the Intergenerational Art Competition to Promote Mental Health Awareness and Older Americans Month, and the Afghan Elderly Association.
