This past year, WMA faced significant challenges alongside other museums and arts organizations around the world. Through temporary closure and eventual re-opening, we found that art provided us with the tools we needed to meet our community’s needs in education and social cohesion. We adapted and became more resilient, and in the midst of ongoing uncertainty, we continue to imagine the positive impact WMA will create in our community. Looking ahead, we are grateful for the opportunity to bring transformative change through the visual arts in 2021 and beyond.
It allows us to express ourselves, dream and work for the future, and cultivate our own creativity. At WMA, art gives all of us the tools to tell and understand the complex but ‘everyday’ stories of the South. WMA uses art to communicate unique perspectives that allow us to learn, live, and work together to create new opportunities and build a stronger, more empathetic Wiregrass community.
Will you consider making a gift online to WMA that will strengthen our mission in the year ahead?
A securely made donation will ensure that we can create high-quality exhibitions with artists from across the Southeast and sustain needed education programs that allow our diverse community to create, innovate, and share their own stories.
Thank you for making a meaningful gift to our Wiregrass community through the visual arts at WMA!
