STUDIOS
Art Studio space will nearly triple from 915 sq. ft. to 2,600 sq. ft. to give three separate studio spaces as compared to the one-room space in the lower level of Landers House.
WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT
Designed by Ann Beha Architects, the addition will provide additional galleries to be used for the display of the permanent collection, new exhibitions, tours and programming; to triple art studio space for educational offerings; to update the ArtLab for our youngest Museum-goers. Your support of this project will ensure the Museum's ability to offer a full spectrum of programming for visitors of all ages.
