About this organization
Mission
To provide a vibrant place for the presentation and exploration of art of lasting quality for the benefit of a diverse public through intentional art collecting, lively interpretation, diligent preservation and care, active educational programs, and opportunities for social interaction.
About
The mission is implemented through the development, interpretation and care of art collections; creation of original and educational exhibitions; and presentation of interpretive lectures, concerts, art instruction and other programs to ensure that visitors gain a better appreciation and understanding of the fine arts. The museum actively collects works of art in the fields of American art, world cultures, and art of the region. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, admission to the museum is free and its collection includes over 6,500 works of art. Over eighty-five years ago, Hagerstown native, Anna Brugh Singer and her husband, noted American impressionist painter, William Henry Singer, established an art museum and gave it to the community with the proviso that admission be free in perpetuity. Their largesse and the generosity of many subsequent collectors built a remarkable art collection in Washington County.
