The Anchor Campaign

Your support toward the Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s annual fund, the Anchor Campaign, supports MMAM’s mission-driven work, creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship to water. Every dollar contributed helps make this imperative work possible: 

• Artistic Excellence.  MMAM brings renowned artworks and scholarship by the most celebrated and ambitious artists and curators of our time to the Upper Mississippi River region.  Our work depends on succcessful collaborations with world-class museums and collections like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and the New York Historical Society, art galleries that support artists we work with, like Pace Gallery, Lehman Maupin, and Sheery Leedy Contemporary,  and publishing houses that invest in both the authors and illustrators we love, like Lerner Publishing, the University of Minnesota Press, and Penguin Random House, to name a few.  

• Community Arts Access.  We make our mission-based work more accessible to more people.  Hallmark efforts like the Minnesota Marine Art Musuem’s Seasonal Saturdays, Free Student Thursdays, Spark! Toddler Tuesdays and Art For Every Child help us remove barriers that make art accessible to all ages and abilities, further sparking wonder, connection and compassion, for all. 

• Clean Water and Climate Stewardship.   Your support allows the Museum to use most energy efficient equipment available on the market (from those air exchangers keeping our artwork protected to the led lights we use to create those magical gallery moments) leverage carbon free energy sources, and care for our six-acre riverside gardens that are slowing erosion and providing habitat for pollinators and essential riparian critters.  With your support, the Museum annual releases 66,000 fewer pounds of greenhouse gasses each year, aiming to keep our waters cooler, cleaner and more habitable for generations to come.
