THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MAM!
“Some kids will never overcome the barriers to full, rich meaningful lives that are in front of them, through no fault of their own. But some, maybe just one, will open her eyes and see possibility where it never existed before and her life will be forever changed. And in some cases, her life will be saved. That’s what a little art program in Missoula, Montana, can do. And that’s amazing.” - John Engen, Mayor, Missoula, MT
ART 4 ALL LAUNCH
September 10 - December 1
MAM BELIEVES IN ART 4 ALL!
Your generosity is MAM’s lifeblood! Your dollars help MAM connect over 40,000 people, young and old, to contemporary art each year and admission is always FREE. MAM has a banner year ahead, offering a myriad of extraordinary exhibitions and educational programs. For instance, in addition to bringing over 1,500 5th graders to tour the exhibition, Selected Works from the Susan and Roy O’Connor Collection, MAM will work with 4th graders from three MCPS schools and the Missoula Writing Collaborative to help bolster Montana’s Indian Education for All curriculum, based on artworks from MAM’s Contemporary American Indian Art Collection. Thank you for helping MAM build community through the arts.
WE NEED YOU

Bequests of Artwork:
In 2000, MAM received its first bequest of artwork to its Permanent Collection from Joyce Folsom. Inspired by her generosity, MAM established the Joyce Folsom Society to identify and encourage bequests of artwork to the Collection. As part of MAM’s Permanent Collection, Artwork will be exhibited and preserved for years to come by our professional staff. MAM’s Collection continues to grow primarily through the generosity of gifts from artists and patrons.
Special Funds:
Support the MAM programs most important to you. Designate your gift to support scholarship funds for education programs, acquisitions of art for the MAM Collections, or book purchases for the public research library.
