Partner with Us

We partner with museums to provide strategic and financial support to get American art out of storage and into communities nationwide through our art sharing and community engagement programs.

Access to art is made possible at the intersection of our two pillars:

01.Art Sharing

Partnering with museums to get artworks out of storage, share them with communities nationwide, and broaden experiences with American art.

02.Community Engagement

Supporting museums in activating loans through innovative, transformative programs, gathering meaningful visitor data, and reaching new communities.
