The Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial is guided by the spirit of its founder, who first extended an invitation in 1898
for "the world to come and learn art." Samuel Fleisher's singular vision of high-quality, tuition-free art instruction
continues uninterrupted at the Memorial.
Here, children from all economic and cultural backgrounds share in the commonality of the creative experience and the
cultural diversity of the city. Adult artists of all levels of experience study with a
distinguished faculty of working artists in diverse fine-arts mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture,
printmaking, photography, and ceramics.
Fleisher's Romanesque-revival sanctuary provides an evocative, expanded musical and
performance context for the understanding of time-based arts and the many meanings of culture.
The Challenge exhibition series, established in 1978, presents some of the region's best artists in a
highly selective and widely respected competition.
The Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial is an Institutional Member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.

financial management. Donations to the Fleisher Art Memorial are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
