MUSEUM OF WESTERN ART ISSUED CHALLENGE GRANT
 
The award-winning Museum of Western Art has been issued a Challenge Grant from an anonymous donor. From July 1 until October 31, 2017, the donor will match any monies contributed  up to $50,000.
 
“We want all of our supporters to be aware of this terrific opportunity for the Museum,” said Executive Director Stephanie Turnham. “The Museum provides our community with so much more than fine art and educational programs. It is a resource for curriculum enhancement for our area schools, helps keep our taxes low through the out-of-town visitors from around the world who stay in our hotels and RV parks, and contributes to the unique quality of life in the Texas Hill Country.”
 
The Museum of Western Art is a non-profit organization that receives no government support. As such it relies on grants, memberships and earned income to operate and to continue serving as the region’s premier cultural attraction. “The Museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and interpretation of our nation’s rich Western heritage through art and artifacts, which has helped shape who we are as a nation.”
 
All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
