As Ogden Museum of Southern Art closes out its 20th year, we look back on the impact and accomplishments of the Museum and are filled with gratitude for the thousands of supporters who have made these milestones possible. The past two decades have been filled with award-winning exhibitions, an inspiring Ogden After Hours after Hurricane Katrina, collaborations with countless organizations, a growing permanent collection, a pivot to engaging virtual programs in 2020 and so much more.
We thank you for being a part of Ogden Museum’s history and truly hope you’ll be a part of our next decade and beyond. Please take a look at all we have achieved and consider a year-end gift to support our future.
