Temporary Pause on Acquisitions<\/p>\n
As we undertake significant storage renovations to improve the care and accessibility of our collection, the Butler Institute of American Art has temporarily paused acquisitions. During this period, only works by major artists that address key gaps in our historical holdings will be considered. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resuming a broader acquisitions program in the future.<\/p>\n
