As a past exhibiting artist whose work is also part of PAMM’s collection, it was serendipitous to receive this gift during our Art + Soul celebration of the PAMM Fund for Black Art that took place on February 6, 2021. We were able to apply the donation to the Fund that supports? PAMM’s effort to?grow its collection with works by Black artists. Tremendous acts as these ensure that PAMM will continue to be able to represent the diversity of the community we serve while elevating the appreciation of African diaspora art and culture. It was announced during the program that Knight Foundation would match any gift made during the program toward the Fund, up to $100,000 doubling the impact of LIFEWTR and Adler’s already extraordinary donation.
Thanks to this gift and the continued donations of so many, our institution will be able to ensure that works by African American and African diaspora artists will always be represented in PAMM’s permanent collection for generations to come.
