Memorial Art Gallery

Join us—for art that inspires and informs, ever better.

The Memorial Art Gallery is a welcoming cultural hub in the heart of Rochester, built on the belief that art should be for everyone. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we continue to remove barriers and create a space where our entire community can connect, learn, and be inspired. Help us carry this mission forward with a gift today.

Match spotlight: Today, your contribution goes further! Each donor to any Memorial Art Gallery fund of any amount will unlock an additional $10 for essential, flexible support benefiting the museum’s highest priorities—up to $3,000—thanks to the generosity of Karen Petras, a dedicated MAG member and supporter.

If you are unsure where to direct your support, please consider one of these priority funding areas:

MAG Annual Fund provides essential, flexible support for the museum’s highest priorities—from exhibitions and programs to daily operations—ensuring that the Memorial Art Gallery remains a vibrant, responsive, and inspiring resource for our region.

MAG Free for All Endowment will improve the lives of generations of children and adults and dramatically enhance the cultural landscape of Rochester by providing free MAG admission to all visitors in perpetuity.

MAG Exhibition Underwriting plays a vital role in bringing world-class art and cultural experiences to our community. Your support fosters accessibility, innovation, and education—helping us share artists’ stories, such as Determined to Be: The Sculpture of John Rhoden, through engaging, interactive programming that brings exhibitions to life.

When you give $25 or more, you’ll receive a Monet Waterloo Bridge magnet as our thank you – a little reminder of the light your generosity brings.
