“…I have been exploring a lot of material memory and material culture and, in the end, it’s sort of this combination of all these things that layer up to tell a story that’s very personal but also one that I think relates to a lot of other people's experience and our general humanity.” –Izaak

Thanks to your leadership support of the RISD Fund as an 1877 Society member, Izaak Hernandez 24 TX and students like him are using art and design to change the world. Your generosity helps give students access to the materials, technology, spaces and financial resources they need to thrive at RISD.

Thank you to all who contributed to the 2:1 RISD Fund Challenge Match and made their gift go three times as far, raising $891,978 in December to support our students and faculty members!

Wishing you a happy, healthy and creative new year!
