About Friends of Art:
As one of Friends of Art's signature events, LFOA generates funds that directly support the development of the Museum's permanent collection by funding art acquisitions. FOA's fundraising events also make it possible for the Museum to continue presenting such outstanding exhibitions as Andy Warhol: The Last Decade which opens this September. Without your support, the significant contributions provided by FOA to the Milwaukee Art Museum would simply not be possible. For more information on FOA events and activities, or to join FOA, visit http://www.mam.org/involved/details/foa.php.
Thank you for your support of our efforts to provide art experiences that are as world-class as our Santiago Calatrava-designed building!
