Enjoy great art and support your community! Take home an original work of art on loan for one year plus a tax receipt for the value of your donation.

The Benefactor Art Exchange is a longstanding MacLaren program aiming to showcase regional artists, foster regional collectors, and increase gallery membership. For over 25 years, artists have been showcasing their work in this annual exhibition while building relationships with the region’s many art collectors and budding art lovers. Featuring over one hundred works, the selection of artwork serves as a preview for the main event – an enthralling art-filled evening where MacLaren Members at the Benefactor and Junior Benefactor levels have the chance to select a work of art to have on loan for the year and display in their home or business. After the year, Benefactors have the option to purchase their loaned work, making it a perfect addition to their personal collection.
