BE A PART OF THE AMA
Albany Museum of Art supporters play a vital role in strengthening the cultural fabric of our Community
Be part of the largest most exciting fine arts organization in the region
A non-profit cannot fulfill its mission without operational support. The funds raised through the Annual Fund directly support staff, programming, infrastructure, and building needs. There are tiered levels starting at $1, with giving circles that suit the donor’s level of engagement.
Your donation is instrumental in preserving the AMA’s collection of art objects, and in making art exhibitions and educational opportunities available and easily accessible to the Albany and Southwest Georgia community.
The AMA is deeply grateful for all our donors, whose contributions are 100% tax deductible within the limits permitted by law.
We hope you will find a level of support that is comfortable for you as together we strive to build a more vibrant, unified community through art.

Things To Know
The Albany Museum of Art has adopted a "donorship" model that supports the Museum’s Annual Fund. All memberships were converted to the new model as of July 1, 2024.
The AMA wants to reward your support, which is instrumental in maintaining free admission for everyone, by making your contributions 100% tax deductible. Your tax consultant can tell you whether you can take the deduction on your tax return.
We believe that this system enables us to provide value to the donor while enabling the AMA to be good stewards of the funding entrusted to it.
Yes! We want to be accommodating. To set up recurring payments you can go online, or contact Chloe Hinton at 229.439.8400 or email her HERE.
Please RSVP for our Exhibitions Opening Receptions. When planning a catered event, knowing approximately how many people to expect is important so that we have enough for everyone. It makes the AMA a good steward financially, and environmentally by preventing food waste.
The opening receptions are free for donors at the Reciprocal Level or higher. The cost is $10 for Artist Guild donors, and $15 for the general public.
Yes, active military members may make a donation at the Artist Guild level and receive the benefits of the Reciprocal level.
