A gift at this level will allow them to project images, support manuscripts, hang drawings, convey text, communicate ideas and divide space for future exhibits.
Twenty-nine of the fifty-four professional exhibitions mounted in the gallery featured designs or curatorial work of underrepresented minorities and women.
