In 2024 we had over 90 pieces of art displayed by 115 artists.The museum saw over 10,000 attendees in 2024.The main functions of a museum are to collect, protect, exhibit, and educate. One additional element has been added recently, and that is to entertain. For most of the exhibits, we were able to host the actual artist for a First Friday event. People enjoy meeting the artists and it generally will draw a larger group of attendees. For the Reid and Niblack exhibit, we also had a professor discuss the effects of climate change in Southern Oregon. He is a regular presenter for JPR and was highly appreciated. The American Alliance of Museums states the importance of educating our youth - since they are the ones who will be dealing with the climate consequences in the future. Revenues generated from sales of artwork and fees charged for submission of and to hang exhibits.In addition to having 6-8 exhibits each year, we also include concerts, art films, workshops, and classes as part of our programing. Each of these elements brings people to the museum who might not visit just to see the exhibits.
