About this award
The Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs, Mississippi received a $104,674 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' Museums for America federal grant program. Funded from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022, the grant will support the museum's purchase and installation of new storage furniture to properly house and increase public access to its permanent collection. A 2019 preservation needs assessment revealed the museum vault lacks adequate storage space and furniture and suffers from overcrowding. The new storage will securely rehouse two-dimensional artworks currently in suboptimal conditions and expand existing vault capacity. Open storage for ceramics will also be created to maximize use of existing space.
