The Taft Museum of Art (TMA) is requesting a $750,000 Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the installation of a new HVAC system and for repairs to the envelope of its 200-year-old historic house. TMA is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) built around 1820 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The infrastructure project is necessary to ensure the preservation of the historic house, the safekeeping of the permanent fine art collection of 740 objects contained within the house, and to guarantee the continuation of TMA’s humanities educational programming. In 2018, TMA served over 81,000 individuals of all ages through its exhibitions and humanities programming. The infrastructure project will guarantee that the NHL house is protected and well maintained, providing the community ongoing access to the collection, exhibitions, and programming and will ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy one of Cincinnati’s most valued cultural assets. |
