Acquisitions 

With over 18,500 objects the Lowe has the only truly international diverse collection in the region. It is by continually adding new works to these collections that the Museum ensures its relevancy to a diverse local and global audience for many years to come. The acquisition of works of art through donation or the gift of funds for acquisition is a key component of our collecting mission. 

Conservation 

The conservation of a multi-media permanent collection is a monumental challenge, but one which provides exceptional opportunities for research and discovery. Gifts in support of conservation at the Lowe Art Museum are used to preserve objects for future generations of museum goers. 

Digital Age Initiative 

The overarching goal of the Digital Age Initiative is to unlock access to the Museum’s entire collection. This goal includes making the Lowe’s collection available on-line through our website as well as supporting the production of educational, interpretive, and social network tools such as descriptive audio tours, cell phone guided tours, and gallery signage. Gifts in support of this goal will help the Lowe bring the wonders of its collections to the world. 

Educational Programming 

It takes extensive resources and a staff with a wide range of expertise to provide educational programming for an audience that includes students, teachers, parents and children, adults of all interests and education levels, senior citizens, scholars, art-lovers and, of course, first-time visitors to the Museum. One of the Lowe’s major initiatives is the promotion of collaborative programming includes an art collaboration project with the School of Medicine. In order to respond to the growing needs for community art education, it is imperative that the Museum add another full-time Curator of Education.  Your gift will help support these very important programming initiatives. 

Exhibition Programming 

The Museum presents several temporary exhibitions each year, ranging from comprehensive single-artist retrospectives to historical surveys to focused presentations that explore specific topics. Organization of these exhibitions can take years, and often requires the cooperation of many museums and private collectors along with considerable research scholarship. Your gift in support of exhibitions will provide much needed funds for these ambitious and innovative undertakings, including the research and organization that accompanies each presentation.
