Greetings!
Black, White, & the Blues is over and we are very pleased to have raised about $35,000. We want to thank everyone who participated. It was odd to not be able to celebrate in person. We're grateful we could have the virtual event. It will help us keep the museum open.
And now, on to the next adventure - Art in the Garden. We have seven wonderful gardens to visit. For now, tickets are available at the museum or Gallery One. Soon there will be other ticket outlets - we'll list them in the May eNews.
Don't miss Vince Carl's exhibit. It's really beautiful.
Thank you all for your support and friendship.
Enjoy!
Hyla
Executive Director

The Exhibition Department has been very busy keeping up with the many changes in schedules. Following is a preview of a list of exhibits for 2021. This list is totally subject to change due to circumstances that the museum cannot control. (But we're pretty confident they will all happen!) |

Help keep the museum free for all! |
|
The museum does not receive government funding (other than grants from the Josephine County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Cultural Trust via JCCC). So keeping the doors open depends on grants, donations, memberships, sponsorships, and rent from the street level businesses (Shoefly and Gallery One). You can do one time donations and you can also do monthly donations. It's easy - and we appreciate you very much!
One additional side benefit - the foundations who offer grants are very pleased to see community involvement. Your donations show your support!
|
|
Monthly donations are so amazing. They add up quickly. Just $10 a month means a donation to the museum of $120 for the year. That's fabulous. Please consider this option. The payments safely charged to your credit card. |

If you get this far....
This is fascinating - it looks like a satellite view of the earth - but in reality it is various types of paint interacting with each other.
