For museums, theaters and arts organizations
Send your members and donors a card that looks like your organization, and end it with a link to give or to see what is coming next season. These holiday ecards for museums and arts organizations are short animated cards with your logo, colors and words, sent by email to members, subscribers, donors and volunteers, and you see the finished card before you pay.
No account until you pay. Your director approves it by link. One price for your whole list.

Made for an arts organization
Type your organization's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from your director, your board chair, the artistic director or everyone at the museum, theater or orchestra.
The result is an arts organization holiday card that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. On a Photo & Text design you can add your own photos of the galleries, the stage or the season. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your members is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a museum; press Make this yours and the studio opens it, ready for your own logo.

A good holiday message to members is short and warm: thanks for being part of the year, a wish for the season, and who it is from. Keep the card itself a greeting. If you want members to renew, give or see what is coming, put those pages in the card's ending links rather than in the message. Start from one of these and change any word.
"Thank you for being part of our audience. Happy holidays."
"Season's greetings from all of us at [organization name]. Thank you for a year of art and community."
"Wishing you a joyful holiday season and an inspiring new year."
"Your generosity kept our doors open and our stage lit this year. With gratitude, season's greetings."
"Thank you for every visitor you welcomed and every story you told this year. Happy holidays from all of us."
"On behalf of our artists, staff and board, warm wishes for the holidays. We look forward to seeing you in the new year."

Many museums still mail a printed museum holiday card to trustees and major patrons. A museum holiday ecard reaches every member, subscriber and donor on the list, at one price, and ends with a link to give or to see next season.
A card holds one message, so many organizations make two: one to members and donors that ends with a link to give, one to volunteers, docents and staff that simply says thank you. Copy the first card, change the words and the links, and both live in the same account.
Your members and audiences come from every faith and none, so the greeting is usually Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or best wishes for the new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting your organization uses. Some organizations send a thank-you at Thanksgiving as well.
When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a museum, that is often the giving page, the membership page or the winter exhibition. For a theater, orchestra, opera or dance company, it is the holiday performances or the season ahead. Members who want to do more are one click away; everyone else simply gets a warm card.
December is year-end giving season, and your members hear from every cause they support. A card that opens with thanks, in your organization's own colors, stands apart from the appeals around it. Many museums also suggest a membership as a holiday gift; that page can be one of the links too. The gift, the membership or the ticket is handled on your own website, as always.
A card from the organization usually needs a yes from the executive director, the development or membership office, marketing, and sometimes the board chair or the artistic director. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so anyone who signs off can watch it on a phone, even in the middle of a busy holiday run.
When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until you say yes, so the card can wait for the next board meeting if it has to.
There are two ways to send, at the same price.
Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your members and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
Giving Tuesday is December 1, 2026. Many organizations send their holiday card in the first half of December, after the Giving Tuesday push and before members leave for the holidays; others send it in the last days of the year as a final thank-you. Send midweek, when it lands in an inbox rather than a busy weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.
