Founded in 1977, the Alexandria Museum of Art (AMoA) has promoted understanding and appreciation of art through three decades of exhibits and educational outreach programs. The mission of AMoA is to preserve, exhibit, and promote visual art throughout Central Louisiana in a way that contributes to the quality of life. To accomplish this, we educate, in order to advance the public's knowledge of and appreciation for the value of art as a source of beauty, inspiration, information and expression. The vision of AMoA is to be the premier arts center of Central Louisiana, providing quality programming, exhibits and events, as well as outreach programs, taking a collaborative approach to meet the educational and cultural needs of our community. AMoA entices visitors of diverse tastes with rotating exhibitions of art from our permanent collection, traveling exhibits from around the world, and exceptional contemporary artists. Educational and community programs are implemented to complement exhibitions. In an effort to become self-sufficient and sustainable, the Alexandria Museum of Art endeavors to establish programming that is collaborative in nature, beneficial to the community, and advances our mission.
