Vote for the Walters Art Museum on November 5th.
If you are a Baltimore City resident, the Walters Art Museum asks for your support at the ballot box in November. Vote "YES" for the City bond bill, which will provide funding for construction of the museum's future building at the corner of Cathedral and Centre streets.
As the museum's curatorial staff and collections expand, this building will be the next step in the Walter's long range plan of service to the community through education, high level scholarship in exhibitions and conservation, and contributing to the economic strength and quality of life in Baltimore.
The new building will have several functions. The center for Learning Through Art will be a community-based space offering programs to help children achieve literacy through art. In the Center for Art and technical Studies, curatorial and conservation staff and fellows will collaborate with colleagues from the academic world and other museums in historical art research, conservation and technical studies, and conservation science. A new tempoary exhibition space of 16,000 square feet will triple the capacity for the Walter's to display art. And expanded exhibition and storage space for the permanent collection will allow the museum to display and house more of its current holdings on-site and to accept important gifts.
Your support is important to the Walters.
Vote "YES" on Tuesday, November 5.
