Art elevates the everyday. 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?

Your contributions will support free community programs like Watercolor Collective and Write Night, that promote self-expression and cultural sharing. Donations help cover the cost of transportation for Bus on Us field trips, making learning through art fun and affordable for more than 5,000 area students this year, and help sustain WMA’s in-gallery learning and free digital app, connecting generations to art in the museum’s collection.

Giving to WMA cultivates a creative ecosystem for programs like WMA Teens, creating pathways for arts careers and greater arts participation in the Wiregrass. Your generosity also provides needed support for emerging and established artists in the Southeast to create new exhibitions and connect our community through art.

Thank you for making a meaningful gift to our Wiregrass community through the visual arts at WMA!

The visual arts are a vibrant resource for the vitality of our communities, and WMA cultivates our rural region into a center for growth by providing creative and financial support for artists, exhibitions, residencies, and special projects.

Wellness and Community Cohesion

Access to the arts inspires us to take an active role in our communities, whether in person at WMA or through its virtual platforms that reach audiences across the nation.

At WMA, we provide a platform for artists to tell the stories of the South, and for residents to join in that dialogue, creating meaningful connections to build cultural equity.

Youth Art Education Policy

Outside of tours, family days, and open house events, individuals who are not enrolled in a class are not allowed in WMA classrooms except by written permission of the Executive Director. Parents may not join children in the classroom during instruction times in order to ensure an atmosphere conductive to creativity. It is important to limit the number of adults to keep the focus on the kids, their learning, and to accommodate limited seating in the studio. Parents are welcome to stay in the museum during class but must remain outside of the classroom during instruction time.

Museum educators are experienced in creating positive learning environments for all ages and are required to go through a background check to ensure the safety of our students. Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit the studio at the end of class to see what their child has created. All docents and volunteers working with children are also required to go through background checks.

Thank you for understanding our policy and priority on the safety and well-being of participating students.

Refund Policy

The Wiregrass Museum of Art may cancel any class with insufficient enrollment; students will be notified and given a full refund. If a student withdraws at least 1 week before the class begins, he/she will be refunded for the full cost of the class. If a student withdraws 24 hours before the class begins, he/she will be refunded for half the cost of the class. There are no refunds after the start date of class, and membership fees are nonrefundable. Students are not enrolled until complete payment is received.

Terms and Conditions

The Wiregrass Museum of Art reserves the right to photograph and reproduce chosen works publication, publicity, and educational purposes. Participation in this exhibition shall be an agreement on the part of the artist to these conditions. The museum reserves the right to exclude works submitted without appropriate preparation (documentation, mounting hardware, suitable frame/mat, etc.), or which are damaged or incomplete. The museum is not responsible for the safekeeping of any works left in its care ninety (90) days after the close of the exhibition.
