Fund a Need: 25th Anniversary Fund
Help the Museum become more sustainable.
Donations to our 25th Anniversary Fund will help us update our HVAC system - which is projected to reduce our energy use and emissions by more than 50%. We need your support on this important phase of our renovations, which will provide a sustainable environment for patrons, exhibitions, and collections storage well into our next 25 years.
More than half of this $1.4 million project has been funded by grants, including a $750,000 grant from Gov. Pritzker's Illinois Public Museum Capital Program. An additional $100,000 has been funded by the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative, and approximately $250,000 by individual donors including the Elmhurst Artists' Guild. Any dollar amount will help us get to the total to help update our equipment and obtain national accreditation.
With climate-controlled galleries the museum can host premier exhibits and artwork. We are thrilled to announce tonight that with these HVAC improvements, the museum is scheduled to host works by Picasso in the Fall of 2023!
