Mission

The Museum of Friends' mission is to 'honor the artists who have freely given art to the museum's founders thereby establishing its collection. MOF honors art and celebrates the generous artists who made possible and gave form to its existence. MOF's primary goals are to foster the open inquiry necessary for a cultural education and its ideals through exhibitions, public and educational programs, while sharing an extensive reference library and permanent collection to bring economic development and job creation to Huerfano Couny.

About

The museum's 'school tour program' is offered to local and neighboring area schools for classes pre-K through high school. The program is planned with teachers who use the museum's collections for curriculum goals. The tour of the specific collection is followed by an art, writing, or self-expression activity. The program offers in-depth experience of 'STEAM' learning (science, technology, engineering, art and math). Approximately 475 students participated in 2019. In-kind labor donated totaled 15,000.
