Art is one of the most powerful forces on earth. It can change how we see ourselves and each other, and it can change how we see the world. Art has the power to inspire, to challenge, to heal, and to create new ways of thinking about ourselves and our world. Art is a language that everyone speaks— whether you're an artist or not. And we believe art is for everyone. A tax-deductible gift of any amount will help the Hunterdon Art Museum continue to be your museum where transformative and enriching experiences take place for visitors, students, the community, and beyond, as well as to bridge gaps to ensure what we do is accessible to all. Here are a few ways we're doing just that: n World-class contemporary exhibitions that stimulate the senses. n iPads and QR codes positioned around the galleries where visitors can hear from exhibiting artist and curators, which offers valuable context and allows for a deeper relationship with the work and artist. n Collaborating with thirty schools showing art by nearly 1,000 children in our Young Artists Showcase. n Reopening of ArtZone, a drop-in, family-friendly space open to the public where all ages and abilities are welcome to come and create. n Maintaining a digital library on our website of previous artist talks, panel discussions, opening receptions, and immersive virtual-reality tours of our exhibitions. n Expanding the use of our beautiful terrace, a gathering spot for the entire community, with exciting offerings like dance classes and ArtBar. n Free Museum admission to families and individuals who receive benefits through SNAP, WFNJ, the Child Care Subsidy Program and/or WIC. n Designating free seats in our classes and workshops to those currently enrolled in the New Jersey Families First Program and their families.

We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that society is huge and the individual is less than nothing. But the truth is that individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different. " ~ Neil Gaiman
