“In Arlington, we love collaboration, a can-do spirit, and out-of-the-box thinking, and the team at the Arlington Museum of Art continues to surprise and thrill us by really putting all that into practice. It has been so exciting to see the Arlington Museum of Art find its voice in the last few years, and there is no doubt that even bigger things are on the horizon.”
— Jim Ross, Mayor, City of Arlington
Our founders believed in art as a legacy gift to our community, and we’re so excited for all the ways the New AMA fulfills that vision! Thanks to our partnership with the City of Arlington, we’re being built on a platform for success.
Still, there are many exciting ways for individual donors, collaborators, and partners to help our community realize the lasting legacy of a world-class art museum in Arlington. Meet Chris Hightower, President and CEO of the AMA, and learn how you can get involved:
“Just look at what the Arlington Museum of Art has been doing over the last several years. They are proving themselves to be a force in the art world. Their body of work is clearly relevant, sustainable, and shows that the AMA is a powerful arts destination for Arlington and North Texas. Our belief is that the best is yet to come for the Arlington Museum of Art.”
— Carolyn Mentesana, Executive Director, Arlington Tomorrow Foundation
Outside the Lines: Reimagine the AMA
By unanimous vote of the Arlington City Council on April 11, 2023, the Arlington Museum of Art officially has a new home: the Arlington Entertainment District! By late March 2024, the New AMA will offer approximately 42,000 square feet of exhibition space inside the Arlington Expo Center. That’s eight times the size (and creative potential) of our current location! The new AMA footprint will allow us to blend traditional, immersive, interactive, and evolving visual art forms in ways that will inspire, entertain, engage, and reflect our community and our world.
