di Rosa has been committed to providing artistic cultivation and natural respite for its local community and visitors for over 25 years. As part of our promise to improve existing services, we’re building The Magical Path: a winding ADA-accessible pathway between the Courtyard and Gallery 2. We’re well on our way toward completing the fundraising for the project, with over $127,000 raised of $200,000 needed.

We need your help to finish the job. Thanks to a $50,000 matching grant from Lead Sponsors Ken and Dana Stokes, your contributions today will have double the impact.

At di Rosa, we are continually seeking ways to improve our existing services in service of the art and culture ecosystem. The Magical Path is an example of how di Rosa is evolving to better serve all audiences. 

The path will dramatically improve the accessibility of di Rosa’s campus, providing a safe and direct route between the Courtyard and Gallery 2, currently connected via an old, uneven staircase set in the hillside. A graded, ADA-accessible pathway between the Courtyard and Gallery 2 will benefit all visitors, connecting two popular spaces on campus for guests, tours, special events, and education programs.

Visitors of all ages will be able to enjoy the native plantings and landscaping along the magical path, and children can play along the pathway, as parents and guardians easily navigate strollers. The path also presents numerous artistic opportunities for seasonal installations and performances by artists new and familiar to di Rosa.

Help make magic today. Support the Magical Path at any level and help ensure an accessible future for di Rosa.
