WE DO GREAT WORK!

Central to what we do is to create a sense of community and place by celebrating positive long-lasting relationships through art.

The WFMA’s work continues to enrich MSU Texas and the Texoma community through public events, workshops, lectures, and scholarly research. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us to create tangible and meaningful experiences.

By giving, your generous gift goes directly towards supporting changing exhibitions and creative arts programming, ensuring that we can continue providing a space for people to come together, learn, and be inspired.

Discover

Collaboration with MSU academic departments, WFISD programs, and area mental health practitioners integrates visual literacy with interdisciplinary learning. At MSU, Museum assignments teach students to slow down and truly examine and interpret a world outside of themselves.

The 2021 fall semester brought over 200 MSU students to the Museum. Students said they learned details matter, developed a new perspective, connected with their emotions, saw meaning below the surface, and experienced belonging.

Enjoy

Experiencing art in person encourages audiences to foster lifelong relationships with the visual arts. Studies say enjoyment of the arts provides much-needed stress relief. Museum exhibitions and programs allow participants to experience the wonders of visual art and to participate and contribute.

As we look ahead, we aspire to bring exhibitions with national scope as well as organize an artist’s solo exhibition and continue to celebrate the WFMA Permanent Collection.

Participate

Designed and led by local artists, On the Wall art-making workshops use a exciting combination of art historical instruction and hands-on activity to foster a deep connection with artworks on view or in the Permanent Collection.

Additionally, WFMA Community Projects, including MSU study nights, engage a specific community group in a creative activity that is relevant to participants outside of the museum and brings the group into the museum around this relevance.
