Even though the Museum is temporarily closed for a transformative renovation, the Museum’s programs haven’t slowed. Every day, we connect people to art and ideas drawn from our 10,000-piece collection—through classes, outreach, and community partnerships that bring creativity to life beyond our walls.

From Pre-K Open Studios and 5th-grade in-school visits to outdoor events like Pops in the Park and having hands-on art activities at local festivals, the Museum will continue to make art accessible and inspiring for everyone – with your help!

Your Giving Tuesday gift supports:

• Educational programs that spark curiosity and creativity for learners of all ages
• Community partnerships that bring art experiences into schools, parks, and neighborhoods
• Free public programs and exhibitions like the All-School Exhibition held at Missouri State University’s Brick City Gallery 

Your donation of any amount, helps ensure the Museum’s programming is a vital part of our city’s culture while the Museum grows into its next chapter.
