Lift yourself. Buy art. Lift us all. Adopt art.

The Housatonic Museum of Art (HMA), one of the premier community college art collections in the United States, is offering you the opportunity to participate in the care and restoration of important works
of art. HMA’s Adopt-A-Painting Program provides individuals and businesses a way to preserve these works of art for future generations.

The HMA collection offers students and the community alike an opportunity to view works that span the history of art from the ancient to the contemporary. Unique to the Housatonic Community College campus, this permanent collection is on continuous display throughout the 185,000 square foot facility, offering a rare opportunity to learn about art on a daily basis.

In addition, the HMA organizes changing exhibitions, featuring local, national and international artists of acclaim in the Burt Chernow Galleries.
