Current Exhibition The Exhibition Department has been very busy keeping up with the many changes in schedules. Following is a preview of a preliminary list of exhibits for 2021. This list is totally subject to change due to circumstances that the museum cannot control.  Vince Carl  Rogue Valley Biennial  Ilene Gienger-Stanfield  2021 Membership Exhibit  Sakaya Ganz Reclaimed Creations Save These DatesWe are almost positive that Art in the Garden will be live because it is an outdoor activity and it is not until June 12 & 13. There will be eight gardens to visit and lots of art to purchase!  GPMA In the NewsWe have had a number of fabulous articles in The Daily Courier about artists in the museum and Gallery One. Here they are in case you didn’t see them.    GPMA February 2021 Happenings Open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 10am – 5pm We are offering private shopping for customers limiting going out in public. Call 541 476 3220 for an appointment. Help keep the museum free for all!The museum does not receive government funding (other than grants from the Josephine County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Cultural Trust via JCCC). So keeping the doors open depends on grants, donations, memberships, sponsorships, and rent from the street level businesses (Shoefly and Gallery One). You can do one time donations and you can also do monthly donations. It’s easy – and we appreciate you very much! On additional side benefit – the foundations who offer grants are very pleased to see community involvement. Your donations show your support! You can DONATE by clicking here Monthly donations are so amazing. They add up quickly. Just $10 a month means a donation to the museum of $120 for the year. That’s fabulous. Please consider this option. The payments safely charged to your credit card. Be a “Monthly Sustainer” and click here!
