Dear Friends,

Over the past several months, we have welcomed thousands of visitors to the Museum—from forty-eight states, every corner of Alabama, and across the region—to experience wonderful works of art, insightful conversations, and fulfilling moments of connection and discovery.

Your support has helped to bring programming to life, welcomed students and families through our doors, and ensured that our Museum remains a vibrant cultural resource for our community during our seventy-fifth year. We have watched galleries come alive with curiosity, dialogue, and joy. It is because of supporters like you that these experiences continue to happen.

While Monet to Matisse: French Moderns, 1850–1950 has come to a close, the work of the Museum continues every day. New exhibitions are being built (Roll Call: Two Hundred Years of Black American Art opens September 26), artworks are being conserved, educational programming is expanding, and we are preparing for an exciting future ahead.

As we look toward our next steps, we invite you to make a gift to the Annual Fund. Annual Fund support provides the flexible resources that sustain every part of the Museum’s mission and allows us to continue creating meaningful experiences for Birmingham year-round.

Thank you for being part of this important anniversary at the Museum. We are deeply grateful for your commitment and look forward to seeing you at the BMA soon.

With appreciation,

Graham C. Boettcher
Director, Birmingham Museum of Art
