Governor Inslee has again closed all Washington Museums through at least December 14 due to the surging pandemic situation. Please consider the role that art plays in your life and make a donation to help sustain your Museum today!
Double the impact of your gift! Any gift received before December 15, 2020 will be matched by generous donors, Pat and Sam Smith and June Cook, up to a total match of $3,500! That means your gift of $100 will provide the Museum with $200!
Thank you for your support!
