Gifts of Art

Our museum collects historical textile art from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and indigenous cultures of the Americas, as well as contemporary art. We welcome donations of exemplary artworks that fulfill our current collecting needs. As each collection item requires custom storage and care, we encourage you to consider a financial gift in tandem with your artwork donation. The first step is to ask our curators to review the artwork you are interested in donating.
