Our director’s vision for our next 75 years, and beyond, is a museum that is capable of providing groundbreaking exhibitions, producing relevant scholarship in the visual arts, serving as a teaching resource for our campus and community and, equally important, continuing to be a place of enjoyment and inspiration, regardless of the pressures under which we find ourselves. We also must be able to continue with the everyday operation of the museum and continue to expand our offerings to a new and quickly expanding virtual audience so that we remain relevant in an ever-changing world. As we draw near this milestone 75th anniversary, we urge you to join us in perhaps our most important initiative with your commitment to the Georgia Museum of Art: Fund for the Future Endowment. This multi-year endow- ment campaign’s initial goal of $1 million will ensure that the annual interest can provide much needed stability and immediate support for the daily operations of the museum.
It also provides a fitting legacy for our director, William Underwood Eiland, who has spent three decades leading the museum to national and international prominence. We are grateful to the board of directors of the Friends of the Museum and for a bequest from the estate of Martha T. Dinos. These combined gifts totaling $250,000 enabled us to begin fundraising immediately. Our 2021 Elegant Salute co-chairs Isobel Parker Mills and Mary Lillie Watson also generously agreed to shift their efforts and serve as co-chairs of the endowment campaign, with Ham Magill, David Matheny and Gordhan Patel serving as fundraising co-chairs. As a result of their efforts, we have reached a total of $500,000 toward the initial goal of $1 million, with gifts continuing to arrive. We congratulate them on their success so far and have every confidence that they will surpass our goal with your help.
