How We Share Art
We partner with museums to get artworks out of storage and into communities nationwide by providing financial and strategic support for collection loans, exhibitions, and art-sharing initiatives that broaden experiences with American art.
LendingInstitutions
Lenders are typically museums with large or specialized collections. They are interested in sharing their collections with broader audiences and enthusiastic about collaborating with other museums across the country.

BorrowingVenues
Borrowers are museums of all sizes across the country, including rural, urban, and suburban venues, that are dedicated to engaging their communities by providing greater access to American art.
