Be a DONOR: Show that you care…

Only in America are cultural institutions built through the generosity of individuals. To all of you, we, the general public, the paid and volunteer staff, the Board of Trustees, the Foundation Board of Directors, and the Friends of the Museum, say “Thank You.”

Membership:

Visitors to the North Dakota Museum of Art find artists from around the globe shown in tandem with those from across the States and our own region. The Rural Arts Initiative brings exhibitions and art programs throughout North Dakota. There’s music: an outdoor Summer Concert Series in the Garden among the peonies and roses, and a Winter Classical Series. Heather Schneider, the Museum’s masterful chef, creates delicious dishes for the newly renovated Museum Café. Family Days bring kids and adults together to probe the art on exhibit through hands-on learning activities. Weekly Summer Art Camps are among the seventy-some events that flesh out NDMOA’s calendar. Memberships at specified levels are offered: Individual * Household * Sustaining * Supporting * Sponsoring, and * Leading.

Donations:

• Give to the Annual Fund
• Donor Wall: The Donor Wall continues the Museum’s philosophy of inviting artists to design as works of art the utilitarian spaces necessary in a public building. Cork Marcheschi of San Francisco created the neon ceilings in the public restrooms; Richard Nonas laid out the structure of the sculpture garden with massive stones to anchor a specimen peony garden and a crushed limestone plaza. The North Dakota Museum of Art wanted the Donor Wall to be more than a list of names engraved on bronze plaques. Each cubbyhole is filled by an individual, corporate, or foundation donor who has contributed $10,000 or more (cumulatively) to the creation of this cultural institution. The givers choose their own objects to represent them. Written at the bottom of each card is an appropriate inscription. When these boxes are filled, we will go on to wrap the whole elevator space with what will become a grand work of art.
• The Garden Path: The Garden Path is a granite path in the Museum Garden, where the peonies grow, summer concerts take place, and sculpture finds a home. The Garden Path flanks the Museum entrance and is anchored by the Museum’s most recent sculpture, a granite chair. Sculptor Zoran Mojsilov worked the rock to bring an embedded rose quartz vein to surface. A gift to The Garden Path Endowment is one more step in securing financial stability for the Museum today and for the generations that follow. You can customize your own stone.
• Laura Reuter Director’s Fund: The North Dakota Museum of Art Board of Trustees and Museum staff have embarked upon a two-year fundraising campaign to honor the legacy of Founding Director Laurel Reuter, who dedicated fifty years of her career to creating a vital cultural life for those of the Northern Plains and beyond, just one example of the legacy she has created. To honor and highlight Laurel’s life work, we aim to create a $2,000,000 fund. This fund would continue her legacy of presenting world-class contemporary art on the Plains, the development of Native American Initiatives, commissions of new works and artistic publications, and more. This fund will continue to enrich the cultural life of visitors and supporters from all over the globe, but also those who make this place their home.
• Endowment: Major corporations don’t home base in North Dakota. Only a handful of Foundations that support the arts have North Dakota addresses. Whereas art institutions akin in size to the North Dakota Museum of Art seldom have endowments, they are essential to this Museum’s survival. You can become a major supporter of North Dakota’s State Art Museum for less money than almost anywhere else on the continent. Currently we have eighteen named endowments that total $1.3 million. One million of that was donated by Jean Holland and Suzanne Ryan designated for General Operating Support. Many of the smaller endowments are targeted for such areas as: * Education * The Museum Garden * Classical Music * Exhibitions * Permanent Collection Purchases, etc.
