With great art, great benefits, and a great sense of community involvement, there’s no reason not to become a member and do your part to support the Wiregrass Museum of Art.
As you know, we have a nearly twenty-five year history of bringing incredible exhibitions from around the world and sharing them with the families and visitors of Dothan. From the celebration of famous artists like Dothan’s own Dale Kennington and celebrated public artists Alex Brewer and David Hayes, to programs like our interactive K-12 school tours and First Saturday Family Day – we have continued to build a reputation on making art accessible to all ages. Membership at the museum reflects a genuine desire to build a strong appreciation of the arts in your community.
As we prepare for the next twenty-five years, your membership dollars will enable the WMA to promote Dothan as a creative destination and residence, promote the arts as a tool for local and regional economic development, and help support existing creative programs and local artists.
