Portraits
A Night at the Museum You Don’t Want to Miss!
Immerse yourself in a gallery where art and impact collide—where portraits don’t just hang on walls, they awaken through voices that inspire, generosity that transforms, and stories that move you. Each portrait represents an Evergreen student—a story of ambition, creativity, and extraordinary intelligence. Behind our students is a dedicated community that makes their learning journeys possible.
When you give through the Art of Giving, you create vital scholarships that bridge financial gaps—often making the difference between completing a degree or leaving college behind. You open doors to a world-class liberal arts education and distinctive experiences only Evergreen can provide. You make it possible for students to thrive, regardless of financial circumstances.
Don’t miss this celebration of community giving, student achievement, and the promise of an Evergreen education!
