Supporting the Creative Work of Local & Regional Artists
Thank You for Keeping the Arts Alive!
Exciting News from Siskiyou Arts Museum! Thanks to generous donors who so far have contributed over $226,000, Siskiyou Arts Museum has been able to move forward with the purchase of our building. This is a huge step for our non-profit museum, volunteer-run gallery and gift shop.
Siskiyou Arts Museum has been diligently fundraising for the past two years with the aim of purchasing and upgrading our building. Owning the museum’s home ensures the fulfillment of SAM’s mission to provide artistic enrichment to our community. Our purchase and repair goal is $250,000, which will pay off the loan that helped us buy the building plus fund long-deferred maintenance needs.
SAM’s first major project was the repair of our 100-year-old building’s roof. The newly resurfaced roof is essential to the building’s structural integrity and the protection of the valuable artwork that we display and sell.
Please join us in celebrating this historic moment for our non-profit. As owners of our building, we are now positioned to look to our future in Dunsmuir with confidence. Though we’ve reached this milestone, we are still in great need of donors to help us reach our building fundraising goal of $250,000.
It is an honor to be a part of historic downtown Dunsmuir, and the broader Siskiyou County art community. THANK YOU everyone who has helped make this dream a reality.

“Siskiyou Arts Museum exhibits rock my world every time I go! I love their jewelry, greeting cards, beautiful art, and ceramics galore. They have interesting themes in an awesome, warm venue! The staff are so helpful and friendly. I can't say enough about this place. It's nestled in the town of Dunsmuir, a very quaint, mountainous area with waterfalls, a botanical garden and a river running through it. A must stop, right off I-5 on your way to Oregon. Should you decide to stop and take a trip into Siskiyou County, enjoy!
