Annual Giving Program

Friends of the Arts Program

Two decades ago, UMUC realized that no other institution was making a special effort to collect, document, and exhibit the art of the state of Maryland. Today, the Maryland Artists Collection contains hundreds of works, representing the best achievements of visual artists in Maryland and including works dating from the early 1900s to the present.

UMUC’s Friends of the Arts Program campaign offers you the opportunity to help the Arts Program continue and expand its important work. Your gift will go to support and enhance the projects and offerings of the Arts Program—increasing
collaborations with other universities, publishing educational materials, and restoring historical artworks, as well as mounting, maintaining, and conserving works in the collections.
