Recent Gifts
The Museum recently received a gift from the Art Force Fine Arts and Humanities Support Fund for the Distance Learning/Interactive Television Program. It is due largely to Art Force that our community is richly blessed with extraordinary artists in both the visual and performing arts. The staff and volunteers of the Museum are extremely appreciative of the tireless efforts of the many volunteers involved in supporting both Art Force and the arts in Amarillo and beyond.

A gift in support of Museum School was received from the B. L. and Doris Morgan Visual Arts Scholarship fund. Funds will be used to provide scholarships for students in Summer Art Camp. B. L. and Doris Morgan are lifetime contributors to the Amarillo Art Center, now the Amarillo Museum of Art, where Doris continues her service. Their support of Museum School and the Amarillo Museum of Art is a direct result of their commitment to visual art. We appreciate greatly the continued annual support of Doris as well as the annual support from their scholarship fund.
