2025 Annual Fund | Every Drop Counts
These key principles drive our day-to-day, week-to-week, and year-to-year work at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.
Sparking curiosity.
Sparking curiosity, and creating a more compassionate and connected world, for all.
Supporting artists.
Supporting today's most ambitious artists, curators, and creatives whose work is inspired by water.
Stewarding the land.
Being the best stewards of the land and water we can be, so that the next generation of museum goers has a place to experience the same beauty and inspiration we do.
While our mission is seemingly straight forward - creating meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water, the work we do is not. Each year, we conduct our work through partnerships and collaborations so that we can open our doors a little wider, and build on the 30,000 visitors per year who make their way to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.
We don’t just count heads, we make heads count. Whether we’re supporting people living with memory loss through our signature SPARK! Program or hosting our youngest pre-school visitors and making connections for their caregivers through Toddler Tuesdays, our community arts access programs make the region a better place to live, work, learn, create and play.
In the same way the seedlings taking root outside our front door require constant tending, we recognize that every drop counts to move our mission forward.
We are asking each and every one of you, museum visitors, program participants, members and nonmembers alike, to go above and beyond in your support and love for the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. Please, take a minute and make a personally significant contribution to our 2025 Annual Fund, because every drop counts.
Our goal is simple. Raise $125,000 before the end of 2025,, so we can meet our annual budget. For as little as $50 and as significant as $5,000, we are asking you to become a donor to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. Help us meet (or exceed) our annual fund goal so we can move into 2026 with confidence, assurance, and in a position to make MMAM the cornerstone for great art inspired by water, and truly a national treasure that’s not only exploring what marine art is, but can be.
