A New Chapter – Thank You

A New Chapter – Thank You

After many years of dedication, collaboration and shared commitment, AFSMK will close its activities as of 31 December 2026.

This marks the end of an important chapter. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been part of AFSMK over the years – our members, partners, colleagues, supporters and friends. Your engagement, trust and contributions have helped shape the organisation and its work.

Donations and Legacy Campaign

Please note that, as of 10 November 2026, AFSMK has ceased accepting donations, gifts to the Legacy Campaign and any other financial contributions. We are no longer receiving or processing financial support, but your past gifts continue to have impact in supporting the William H. Johnson exhibition at SMK and other final projects. 

Although AFSMK will no longer be active, the work, experiences and relationships built over the years remain an important part of its legacy.

This website will remain accessible until summer 2027 as an archive and source of information about AFSMK and its activities.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
