Hearts for the Arts
​Every Lake County student deserves the chance to discover what they’re capable of creating.
​Artistic talent shouldn’t be limited by a family’s budget. That’s why we partner directly with public school teachers across Lake County to find students with real financial need and clear the way for them to pursue arts and culinary programs at their own schools.
​
Your gift means a student can:
-
Hold a new instrument for the first time and finally play
-
Walk into class with the books and supplies everyone else has
-
Get hands-on with the technology and software professionals use
-
Join the club, group, or competition they’ve been counting themselves out of

Dona Vista Arts has helped me throughout my last two and a half years at Ringling College of Art and Design. Their dedication to me with financial assistance and a genuine belief in my abilities has made a profound impact on my artistic growth and opportunities.

Future Vision: Makerspace
Right now, our community doesn’t have a dedicated space where artists can create, build, and grow. We are changing that.
Our vision is a community Makerspace, a home base for creativity, open to anyone ready to develop their craft. Getting there will take funding, partnerships, and leaders willing to advocate for it locally.
If that’s you, we’d love to talk.
Thank You to Our Supporters
