The Men’s Arts Council, a nonprofit, gave a $475,000 grant to Phoenix Art Museum to support the museum’s exhibitions, engagement efforts, acquisitions, and general operations over the next two years.
“Phoenix Art Museum is grateful for the ongoing generosity of the Men’s Arts Council,” Jeremy Mikolajczak, the museum’s Sybil Harrington Director and CEO, shared in a press release. “This new gift, which comes on the heels of a previous $1 million in support, will allow the museum to present a number of incredible exhibitions to our community during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, exposing audiences to innovative forms of creative expression by artists from diverse cultures, including Manjari Sharma, artists from eastern Europe, and contemporary American artists.”
The grant, in addition to MAC’s annual giving, will support key initiatives throughout 2024 and 2025, including sponsorships of upcoming exhibitions “Expanding Darshan: Manjari Sharma,” “To See and Be Seen” and “Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960-1980s,” in addition to forthcoming collection spotlight “American Modern.”
The gift will additionally fund themed programming and engagement opportunities presented in celebration of “Barbie: A Cultural Icon”; acquisitions that will diversify and expand the museum’s contemporary and American art collections, such as photographs by Ivan B. McClellan; and exhibitions that will be presented in 2025 and announced on a later date.
