Closing the Gates Celebration

Event:

Celebrate the end of an era and the start of a bold new chapter at Hickory Museum of Art! Join us on Sunday, August 31 at 4 PM as we close our doors one last time before beginning our museum-wide renovation — all three floors. Mayor Hank Guess will be joined by a very special guest to help mark this historic moment in our journey to reimagine HMA. Light refreshments provided.

About:

Hickory Museum of Art was founded in 1944 to collect, foster, and preserve American art. 8 works were collected that year, and today, 75+ years later, the Museum now has approximately 1,500 art objects in the Collection. Hickory Museum of Art continues on the pursuit of inspiration, imagination, and creativity. They keep meeting challenges head-on: to continue fostering important conversations, to continue being a catalyst for positive change, and to keep shaping our future, today and every day.
