Major donors have helped the Gallery host special public exhibitions on subjects ranging from ancient Pompeii to Andy Warhol. Individuals or foundations may cosponsor an exhibition with other donors. Those who sponsor receive a variety of benefits and are recognized in various ways that commend their support. Unrestricted gifts going to the Fund for the International Exchange of Art help further the Gallery’s mission as America’s cultural ambassador to the world. The Fund promotes cultural exchange on a grand scale by allowing international exhibitions to share great works of art among nations, and by helping scholarly programs find an international audience.
