Support the Museum
Please consider a gift to support the University Museum of Contemporary Art. The museum and its permanent collection play a vital role in educating our students. UMass and Five College students from across various disciplines of study use the collection as a resource for building analytical skills in their fields, a catalyst for conversation around current social issues, and a place to build community. With your investment, you help UMCA build and diversify our collection with more works by artists of color and women artists and ensure UMCA continues as a teaching museum. Donations in support of the Fine Arts Center are made through the UMass Amherst Foundation. Thank you!
