Support Art for All
The Art for All fund ensures that cost is never a barrier to experiencing the museum. We offer free admission to individuals and families receiving food assistance (SNAP/EBT), as well as to after-school programs and Title I schools that serve communities facing economic hardship.
Support Collection Care
The James Museum Collection Care Fund provides funding to be used for the maintenance and conservation of the permanent collection. The permanent collection consists of approximately 400 works of art selected from over 3,000 pieces acquired by Tom and Mary James over their 50 years of art collecting.
Support Art in Mind
In collaboration with USF Judy Genshaft Honors College, The James Museum developed dementia-specific therapeutic arts programming for residents of Tampa Bay. Your gift provides free admission to individuals and their caregivers. Art in Mind is also available to individuals with learning disabilities and veterans suffering from PTSD.
