A Message from the Director

Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe what has transpired in one week since we announced our temporary closure. I think we are all realizing that the effects of COVID-19 will affect our daily lives for much longer than anticipated. In a continued effort to “flatten the curve,” The Westmoreland Museum of American Art will be closed until further notice as we cannot anticipate when it will be safe for social gatherings.

But that does not mean that you can’t continue to be engaged with the Museum! Here are some immediate ways to stay in touch.

Over the past week the Museum staff has met virtually to come up with online and virtual experiences including live talks, kids classes and more. Stay tuned for more experiences as we launch those efforts over the coming weeks. Our administrative team continues to work remotely and for team members that are not able, we have ensured that they will continue to be compensated.
Ensuring the health and well-being of our staff and their family, as well as our community is our number one priority. We hope these efforts will provide some peace of mind. If you would like to contribute to those efforts, please consider renewing your membership or becoming a new member today (new and renewed memberships will be extended for an additional 12 months after we reopen), or consider making a contribution.

Gratefully,

-Anne
