The Williams College Museum of Art creates and inspires exceptional opportunities for students, faculty, and the public to have meaningful experiences with art. The Museum is a partner in nurturing the cross-disciplinary arts in support of a liberal arts education; advancing the academic and experiential preparation of arts leaders; enriching the cultural ecosystem; engaging artists; and creating a shared learning community that spurs new thinking, creative making, and responsible action. The stewardship, growth, critical study, interpretation, and accessibility of the Museum’s distinctive collection is paramount to the institution’s sustained relevance as a catalytic teaching museum and a leader in the future of the arts.
