The primary mission of the McNay is to collect, preserve and exhibit modern art for the education and enrichment of a diverse public. Since its opening in 1954, the McNay has more than quadrupled its size and its collections have grown from several hundred objects to more than 11,000 works of art. The McNay's educational programs serve nearly 25,000 students annually, and the museum's Teacher Resource Center helps educators introduce the visual arts into their classroom curriculum. Several naming and memorial giving opportunities are also available. Unrestricted gifts are appreciated, as are those directed to specific needs of the McNay.
Gifts can provide significant income tax benefits to the donor.
The McNay is launching a capital campaign to renovate and restore its historical core and add new galleries for temporary exhibitions. There will also be a new endowment to support this expansion. For any problems or questions concerning this site, please contact the webmaster .
