Description
Art Bridges Foundation’s Traveling Exhibitions program partners with institutions that have already organized, or are developing, exhibitions but need additional financial, logistical, and strategic support to tour them. Art Bridges manages exhibition tours, covers direct touring costs, and provides funding to qualifying borrowing museums to offset hosting expenses. The program aims to expand access to American art while encouraging collaboration and community engagement among museums nationwide.
Traveling Exhibitions is part of the foundation’s broader art-sharing work, which builds long-term partnerships with museums of all sizes throughout the United States and its territories. Participating venues include rural, urban, and suburban museums dedicated to engaging their communities through greater access to American art.
