Memorial Gifts

The following options are available:

Adopt-a-Painting:  This unique program directs memorial gifts of all levels towards the conservation of a specific work of art. In this fashion, the memory of your loved one may be preserved alongside a notable piece in our Permanent Collection.  Both you and your loved one will be recognized on the identification tag as the sole or partial contributor to that work’s restoration.

Brick Memorials: This program recognizes memorial gifts of $100-200 with an engraved brick placed along either side of the walk leading up to our main entrance.  Contributions underwrite general operating expenses providing our free community programming each year.

Endowment: Outright gifts to the endowment of any level contribute to the sustainability of the museum.  Substantial gifts may endow positions, programs, or facilties sustaining the donor’s legacy. 

Room Memorials: Substantial memorial gifts of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 or more may be recognized with the naming right to a room within the museum.

Scholarships: Memorial gifts of any level may be pooled into the Scholarship Fund providing tuition assistance to students of all ages demonstrating need.  Gifts of $5000.00 or more may be recognized with the naming right of an annual award.
