One hundred years ago, Eleanor Norcross dreamed of an art museum for Fitchburg — for this community. That dream is very much alive. Today, FAM is an anchor for a changing and vibrant city: a bilingual institution where neighbors, families, students, and first-time visitors walk through our doors free of charge and find something that moves them.
Your charitable gift to the Annual Fund makes all of it possible. The Annual Fund is FAM’s most important source of unrestricted support — fueling the full range of museum operations, from exhibitions and education to collection care and community programs. Every dollar goes to work immediately, right here in Fitchburg and North Central Massachusetts.
“Diverse, beautiful, ours.” — FAM visitor
