Make a gift to Memphis Art Museum

Your gift supports the work that happens every day at the museum: exhibitions, school tours, public programs, community partnerships, and the care of a collection held in trust for Memphis.

Your gift enables us to:

Bring the world to Memphis

Memphis Art Museum holds more than 10,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum brings nationally and internationally significant art, artists, and ideas to Memphis, while keeping that work grounded in the people and stories of this city.

Inspire the next generation

Each year, more than 20,000 school-aged children visit the museum. For many students, a museum tour is a first chance to stand in front of original works of art, ask questions, and connect classroom learning to something real.

Keep art within reach

The museum serves 125,000 visitors each year, including students, families, artists, older adults, and neighbors from across the region. Your support helps keep the museum active, welcoming, and open to the community it serves.

Bring people together

From artist talks and hands-on workshops to community days and family programs, the museum offers hundreds of opportunities each year to gather, learn, and create. Your gift helps make those experiences possible for more people across Memphis.

Give with Confidence

Memphis Art Museum is proud to announce that its strong financial health and ongoing effectiveness and reliability have helped it earn a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. This rating designates us as an official “Give with Confidence” charity, indicating that our organization is using its donations effectively based on Charity Navigator’s comprehensive criteria that go beyond financials to reflect the work charities do.
