The Madison Museum of Fine Art strives to bring original works by visual art masters to rural Georiga, and to do so in a way that inspires the habit of making fine art an integral part of community life and encourage life long learning.

To this end, the museum hopes that you or someone you know will help us expand the scope of our permanent collection by making a charitable finanical contribution or by donating an original work of art by a historically significant artist. In particular, the museum hopes to acquire works by several priority artists including: Arp, Burliuk, Calder, Delacroix, Ernst, Gorky, Hartung, Johns, Kandinsky, Leger, Mondrian,Nolan, Picasso, Rembrandt, Renoir, Rodin, Sisley,Soyer, Tobey, Utrillo, and Vlamink.

Throughout American history, Africans and their descendants have contributed to the development of visual art by creating paintings, sculptures, collages, and prints of international stature. The Madison Museum of Fine Art currently holds the following original works by notable African American artists in the permanent collection:

“Watermelon,” oil paint on wood, by Clementine Hunter.
