Staff salaries for the staging of an October 2020 exhibition on the arts and culture of twenty-first-century India, and implementation of related programs.

The Columbia Museum of Art (CMA) celebrates outstanding artistic creativity through its collection, exhibitions, and programs, interacting in ways that engage the mind and enrich the spirit. This fall, the CMA will present “Visions from India: 21st-Century Art from the Pizzuti Collection”, a special exhibition exploring the recent history of Indian art and culture. “Visions from India” will be a particularly rare and spectacular opportunity for Columbia, South Carolina, which has a large and deeply engaged population of Indian Americans. The museum is eager to showcase this special exhibition for diverse audiences, and believes it will make an important impact on the community, state, and nation. Enriching public programming is intended to be multivalent and to build partnerships with other local cultural and academic institutions. The CMA seeks support for exhibition-related activities that require retaining humanities staff to maintain and adapt critical public programs.
