Urgent! Matching Gift Opportunity
The Museum has a new opportunity before it that makes your support more crucial than ever. The Charles M. Bair Family Trust has challenged the Yellowstone Art Museum to raise $1 million by December 31, 2007. Our success will result in the gift to the Museum of the Charles M. Bair Family collection of western and Native American art and a $2.15 million fund for construction and endowment. The Museum will create a new, state-of-the-art collection storage facility for its entire collection. Further, a new gallery to be called the Charles M. Bair Family Gallery will be created within the Museum. Through the Bair Trust's generosity and yours, we can preserve our entire Montana collection for today and the future. You can help with your gift to this combination capital and endowment building effort! Stay tuned to this portion of our website to learn more.
