Supporting Visual Music / About Us
Your donations support our programs and work to preserve and promote Visual Music.
Current projects for which we're fundraising: The Oskar Fischinger Project (preservation and digitization of films, and continued conservation, digitizing and cataloging of papers and animation artwork). The continued care and conservation of The William Moritz Archive and Library; The Jordan Belson Project (continuing digitization of films); general Film Preservation and digitization of numerous historical films, vidotapes, art and papers, including Mary Ellen Bute materials. We also are in need of a video projector and audio equipment for screenings; for development of our future Oskar Fischinger solo museum exhibition, and a permanent space for CVM. All amounts are useful! You can donate via the link below, or contact us. Thank you for your support of CVM.
In 2019 we began a special Trustees Council, of CVM supporters dedicated to the long term goals and growth of CVM and its work. Contact us if you are interested in joining this very special group, with a yearly donation.
You can help save or digitize a specific film. At present we are fundraising for 4K transfers of Fischinger films.
You can support CVM by purchasing art, photography, ephemera and other items from our current Art/Film Fundraiser (most items donated for fundraising purposes).
Mailing address: Center for Visual Music, PO Box 39527, Los Angeles, CA 90039. To donate via credit card, please donate online below via Paypal to cvmarchive (at) gmail.com
