Art from Maryland on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art Baltimore Museum of Art
Stymied in its bid to sell three blue-chip Modern masterworks last fall to help finance its diversity, equity and other goals, the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) says it has received three gifts to support such initiatives at the museum.
The museum reports that the philanthropist Eileen Harris Norton has donated $1m to finance diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion (DEAI) efforts. Half of the gift will go towards outlays for those purposes over the next three years, and half will seed the creation of an endowment to ensure that such efforts continue, the BMA says.
