If you’re interested in gifting art, please contact our registrar for careful consideration with our Art Gift Review Committee. Please note the Gift Review Committee meets one time per year, generally in November. Upon receipt of your proposal, the curatorial staff will acknowledge when the Museum is in receipt of your gift proposal.
