Honor a Loved One

Making a tribute gift to The Newark Museum of Art in honor of a loved one is a wonderful way to celebrate the values we share: appreciation for arts and culture, respect for science and history, and a pursuit of lifelong learning.

Memorial gifts honor Museum friends whose energy and generosity have shaped our community. They are a testament to loved ones whose memory endures in Museum programs that spark curiosity and foster community.

Individuals honored, or a family member of your choosing, will receive timely notification of your tribute gift with a message from you. No amount will be indicated. You will receive written confirmation that your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Tribute gifts support general operations unless otherwise specified and are listed on the Museum’s annual meeting bulletin.
