Access to art is made possible at the intersection of our two pillars:
01.Art Sharing
Partnering with museums to get artworks out of storage, share them with communities nationwide, and broaden experiences with American art.
02.Community Engagement
Supporting museums in activating loans through innovative, transformative programs, gathering meaningful visitor data, and reaching new communities.
