Every great museum relies on a dedicated community of supporters to keep it running. Meet some of MAG’s generous donors and volunteers.
Timothy Peterson, the museum’s inaugural Ann and Irving Norry Curator of Contemporary Art—a position established by arts leader Deborah Ronnen—is creating new opportunities for visitors to engage with art.
Help us build and sustain MAG’s exceptional team
As part of a top-tier university, the Memorial Art Gallery forges unique collaborations—such as training future doctors to view patients through a new lens and sharing rare treasures that illuminate our shared humanity—that bridge between teaching, scholarship, and public engagement.
Support the integration of art across the curriculum
Art-making spaces like our Creative Workshop change lives—as do our exhibitions, gallery spaces, gathering areas, and the always-open, free-to-all, Centennial Sculpture Park.
Be part of MAG’s growth and transformation
Many of the Memorial Art Gallery’s community programs—including a partnership with the Rochester City School District and a free admission initiative—cultivate creativity, curiosity, and connection, inspiring young minds along the way.
