Housatonic Museum of Art new acquisitions

The Housatonic Museum of Art (HMA) has acquired over fifty prints from thirteen celebrated contemporary photographers as part of its participation in The Museum Project. The Museum Project is a collaborative venture which unites contemporary photographers with the institutions that support them.

Founded by Robert von Sternberg and Darryl Curran in 2012, the project pairs well-established photographers with teaching museums and arts organizations that will appreciate and utilize the donated body of work.

The Housatonic Museum of Art now joins 176 other museums and art collections that have benefitted from the acquisition of artwork through this project. Since its founding, The Museum Project has donated over 4,500 prints, worth in excess of $7 million. The gift to the HMA includes work from Barry Anderson, Darryl Curran, Robert Fichter, Suda House, Victor Landweber, Kenda North, Sheila Pinkel, Bonnie Schiffman, Michael Stone, Robert von Sternberg, Melanie Walker, Todd Walker and Nancy Webber.
