This Thanksgiving, we are feeling particularly thankful for our community and its support of the arts at the Museum all year long. By visiting us and participating in our many programs (most of which are free to all), our visitors help us bring more vibrant and creative events to Birmingham.
We have been lucky to have a wonderful year of programs at the Museum. Our staff CREATES opportunities every day for our visitors to explore our comprehensive collection. From ArtBreaks to Slow Art Sunday, Art On The Rocks to First Thursday, and tours to studio classes, our calendar is packed each month to bring art to everyone in our city.
Give today and help us CREATE even more in 2016!
