“Shaping the Future: New Acquisitions,” will run at the Muskegon Museum of Art through October 24.
The Muskegon Museum of Art was established, through the generosity and direction of Charles Hackley, to “collect pictures of the best kind.” Over the following century, directors and curators built upon that legacy, collecting artwork from artists contemporary and past.
Today, the permanent collection of the Muskegon Museum of Art holds over 5,000 objects and is recognized around the world.
Featured in this exhibition are artworks acquired in the past several years, by purchase or gift. The gifts came from the artists themselves or from supportive collectors. The remaining objects were purchased—many from MMA exhibitions of contemporary artists—using funds generously provided by donors for the express purpose of buying art.
As the MMA looks to its dramatic expansion and the next hundred years, the collection will continue to be a central part of its identity. The expanded galleries will allow the MMA to share more of its holdings with the community than ever, increasing the stories it is able to present.
Contemporary art acquisitions will speak to the audiences of today and tomorrow even as the MMA builds on its existing holdings, adding artworks that deepen the art historical record and enrich perspectives.
