Support the Cayuga Museum |
| 2006 marked the 70th anniversary of the opening of the Cayuga Museum of History and Art. The Museum continues to live up to its legacy -- keeping the past alive and bringing the arts to our community. In 2007, we created six original exhibits celebrating the history and culture of Cayuga County. We hosted presentations by noted academics and local historians, including lectures, slide shows and musical performances -- all free to the public. Our emphasis on family-friendly programming and non-traditional exhibit content have brought in many first-time visitors and greatly increased our visitation numbers. All of us who are a part of the Cayuga Museum can take pride in the good work the Museum is doing. And we want to continue building on our successes. The Theodore Case Film Festival, honoring the Auburn native who invented talking movies, is becoming larger and more prestigious every year. We intend to develop this event into one of the cornerstones of arts programming in central New York. We are accomplishing great things at the Cayuga Museum, yet it is a constant struggle to make ends meet. The Museum’s operating budget needs your help. Museum staff continues to seek out every possible source of funding. We have secured grants from Cayuga County, New York State, and private foundations. The Board of Trustees’ fundraising efforts this year have garnered more than $17,000. Yet the Museum’s operating budget is still facing a shortfall. Your donation at this time will help meet this deficit.
