The Amon Carter Museum of American Art (the Carter) recently announced a partnership as big as the state of Texas.
With a grant of more than $250,000 from the Art Bridges Foundation, the Fort Worth museum is partnering with three Texas museums to bring a series of special exhibitions drawn in part from the Carter’s collection to every corner of the Lone Star State.
The new partnership is part of the nationwide Art Bridges Cohort Program, a program that supports multi-year exhibition partnerships among museums nationwide. For each cohort, an organizing museum and its regional partners collaborate to create exhibitions that inspire and deepen engagement with local audiences.
The Carter’s cohort partners are Amarillo Museum of Art in Amarillo, the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum in Odessa. Over the next several years, each partner will present exhibitions that reframe and broaden traditional ideas about American art. This partnership is centered on sharing collections and museum resources to establish a new model for accessible and inclusive community engagement.
“Expanding access through collaboration and collection-sharing is at the heart of the Art Bridges Cohort Program, and we’re delighted to have the Amon Carter Museum of American Art leading a cohort with museums across Texas. Countless visitors will be introduced to the Carter’s collections through these exhibitions, and we’re confident the program will deepen engagement with their communities.
