Support Artrain USA
Imagine if you could give the gift of art to America.
Artrain USA does…
You can!
Many people throughout the nation do not have the opportunity to enjoy art exhibitions and art education programs that are available in world class museums such as the Smithsonian Institution and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Artrain USA, America’s Hometown Art Museum, brings such cultural opportunities to children and adults right in their own community. Artrain USA offers world-class art exhibitions and art education programs to people of all ages, social backgrounds and economic status.
In addition, Artrain USA serves as a community catalyst, providing art education programs to schools and increasing local participation and support for the arts. Artrain USA impacts the communities we visit by initiating collaborations between schools, businesses, local government, arts organizations and others that last far beyond Artrain USA’s visit and result in an improved community.
Here’s what a few of our visitors and community organizers had to say:
“The Artrain USA visit will be the only time 65 percent of the people in our community will attend an art museum. The caliber of the work was breathtaking.…The involvement of the community in preparing for Artrain was bonding and beneficial. The Artrain staff was professional and friendly, and they immediately became part of our community. The whole Artrain USA experience was one of the best things to happen to our town.”
- Teacher, Troy, Montana
“It would have thrilled our founders, as it did me, to see so many children who attended the educational tours, tug at my sleeve and with bright eyes and shinning faces make the statement, ‘I brought my mother to see the paintings.’ Whether it was father, mother or grandparents, students wanted to share their experiences and brought their families to the train.”
- Community Organizer, Sikeston, Missouri
“Artrain USA was an exciting visual adventure for our town. Every person that came by my work area was so enthused by what they had already experienced and were anxious to share it with more friends. I felt that I was able to promote the local art and share feelings about [the exhibition]. I found myself continuing to stay excited by the exhibition because the people were so thrilled and surprised by what they saw. Thank you for my experience on Artrain USA.”
