Prepared for Supporters and Host Committee Members
Your support ensured transformational outsider art programs!
DEAR SUPPORTERS AND HOST COMMITTEE MEMBERS, Extraordinary. Throughout this extraordinary year, you have proven you are extraordinary—by stepping up your support to Intuit, so our museum can continue to meet its mission. Intuit has made some extraordinary changes this year to continue to bring outsider and self-taught art and artists to ever-expanding audiences. Our team has re-tooled to offer its core programs—exhibitions, programs, collection and scholarship—via both virtual and in-person channels, resulting in new opportunities, new audiences and new supporters. Thank you donors, host committee members, staff and volunteers, and board, Vivian Society and Strategic Advisory Council members for working together to build a more resilient and nimble Intuit. Sincerely yours,
Debra Kerr, President
