Collective Vision: Collector's Circle Museum Acquisitions

As part of the Long Beach Museum of Art’s 75th-anniversary celebration, the Museum honors the impact of the Collector’s Circle. In 1994, the Long Beach Museum of Art established this membership category with two key missions: involving the community in the selection of artworks for the permanent collection and raising funds to acquire significant works of art. The exhibition Collective Vision: Celebrating the Collector’s Circle and Museum Acquisitions highlights the generosity of its members, whose support has facilitated the acquisition of more than 100 significant artworks across various media, enriching the Museum’s holdings and exhibitions. Through their contributions, Collector’s Circle patrons played a vital role in preserving and promoting artistic achievement for future generations.
