The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (The O’Keeffe) in historic downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, requests a challenge grant of $750,000 in support of a $45M capital campaign to create a new museum campus. Anchored by a new 50,000-square-foot exhibition, education, and collections facility, the campaign positions The O’Keeffe as a world-class, visitor-centric, community-minded museum for the twenty-first century. The campaign includes the construction of a new exhibition building on the site of the current Education Annex; makes substantial renovations to the pre-existing Research Center, Library and Archives building; and completely upgrades the building that houses the majority of the O’Keeffe’s administrative staff. With a commitment to accessibility and diversity, the new campus will provide the space to create a more holistic vision of not only Georgia O’Keeffe’s art, but of the iconic landscape, as well as regional Hispanic and indigenous Pueblo neighbors that influenced her so deeply. |
