All art collectors feel the joy of each addition to his or her collection, but eventually the thought occurs; “What will happen to my collection when I pass?”
They begin to plan a way to share, so these personal pieces of art can be enjoyed by all. Southwest Regional Museum of Art and Art Center has been honored by these gifts and is grateful to the many families who have donated artwork from their collections.
