Support the Arts in Athens

More than a museum, we’re a vital cultural resource for the entire state of Georgia. While we’re proud to be the state’s official art museum and part of the University of Georgia, most of the rich culture, unforgettable stories and inspiring art you experience when you walk through our doors are funded by people like you.

Your generosity helps us make everything we do possible, from student internships to community outreach. When you give in any capacity, you help keep the museum free, ensuring everyone can experience the wonder, connection and joy art inspires.

Yes, and it’s one of the most convenient ways to offer continuous support throughout the year. Monthly donors make a meaningful impact over time, providing the support the museum depends on every day.

You can easily set up recurring gifts online(opens in new tab) or choose to contribute through payroll deduction(opens in new tab) if you are employed by the University of Georgia. Please select “Georgia Museum of Art Fund” from the “designation name” drop down.

However you choose to contribute, your support makes a difference and helps us bring more art to more people in the community.

Collectors membership is now automatically available to all annual donors at the $250 level and above and includes exclusive opportunities to interact with our curators, tour private collections and experience art behind the scenes. Collectors programs are for individuals, friends, couples and coworkers to explore art on a deeper level, entering the world of collecting and curating and connecting with others who share your passion and curiosity.

Absolutely. Monetary donations are not the only way to support the arts in Athens. The Georgia Museum of Art offers a range of volunteer and ambassador opportunities that play a vital role in the success of our programs. However you engage, you’re helping us open the doors to more art and more connection to more curious people.
