Annual fund
Your generous participation in the Annual Fund, in addition to your membership dues, allows the Farnsworth Art Museum and Wyeth Center to fulfill the three facets of its mission: the celebration of Maine's influence on American art through the Maine in America permanent collection, the dedication to three generations of Wyeth family art, and the commitment to contemporary artists living and working in Maine. Annual Fund gifts have been instrumental in growing the Farnsworth from a vibrant regional museum to one of national prominence. Your gift to either the
Individual Annual Fund or Business Annual Fund will provide much-needed support for ongoing development of our exceptional programs and activities, provide necessary care of the collection, and ensure quality education programs for children and adults.

Call the Farnsworth's Development Office at 207-596-6457 for more information.

Individual annual fund
For over 200 years artists have turned to Maine, its people, and its landscape for inspiration. To celebrate this inspiration through the tradition and innovation of the Maine in America collection, the wonder of three generations of Wyeth art and the dynamic energy of contemporary artists living and working in Maine, the Farnsworth Art Museum turns to you to support this ongoing effort. Annual giving is independent of membership. Your donation to the Annual Fund assists with museum operations, and your support helps us provide what the museum needs: programming for our exhibitions, sufficient staff and resources to manage the museum and interpretive materials to educate visitors about the Farnsworth and its exhibitions. Your contribution is entirely tax deductible.

You can donate online or you can call the Development Office at the Farnsworth at 207-596-6457 for more information.      (top)
