Exhibition Sponsorship
Special exhibitions at the Museum are among the most respected, publicized, and popular in our region, and sponsorship and underwriting opportunities are available at various levels. The Museum will work with you to develop a plan that meets your objectives and budget. For upcoming sponsorship opportunities please see the schedule of upcoming exhibitions.
To learn more about becoming an exhibition sponsor or Exhibition Angel, please contact Esther Harper, Director for Development at 973-259-5120.
Individuals interested in supporting exhibitions are invited to become Exhibition Angels.
Exhibition Angels are members of a prestigious donor group at MAM whose gifts are made in $10,000 and $25,000 increments. These gifts support ongoing curatorial expenses and those expenses related to the Museum’s annual exhibition schedule. Gifts to Exhibition Angels not only support special exhibitions, they also help assure adequate funding for rotations of works in our permanent collection galleries, for the production of new interpretive wall copy, and for the essential conservation of works on view.
More About Exhibitions at MAM
The Museum’s scholarly and popular exhibitions often:
• Feature first-time presentations of under-recognized artists
• Examine little-known aspects of major artists’ careers
• Investigate art movements
• Celebrate an ongoing commitment to the artists and culture of New Jersey.
MAM juxtaposes what is new and vibrant on the American art scene against works from the past, relating the visual explosion of new art to its historic context; it looks for meaning in contemporary artistic expression as it carries forward the longstanding values and spirit of American and Native American culture. Whereas some exhibitions are devoted to thematic or singular explorations in one area, others emphasize the interrelationships between the American and Native American collections, with exhibition scholarship and interpretive programming designed to illustrate commonalities and mutual influences. Similarly, recent acquisitions have sought to enhance the ways the collections might be compared, contrasted, or reinterpreted.
