At 50, DMOA is becoming a brand new Museum! the Downey Museum of Art @ The Glidehouse!

Our new Museum of Contemporary Art & Culture will  exhibit the work of world-class artists, and it will also become a portrait of visionary leadership in sustainable design and green living!

This website is all about this new project, and is an invitation for you to learn about and enjoy the New Museum long before the doors are open.

Over the next year, you can visit the project here and follow our progress. Get involved. Subscribe to our e-zine. Enjoy a few new programs now like the Real Life Lab series on the Art of Living.

And go behind-the-scenes of Museum Life and read our Director’s blog “Building a Sense of Place”.

We welcome all people, especially those who love life and ideas. Artists, Ecologists, Musicians, Good Neighbors.  Food Lovers, Families, Collectors, Students, Visionaries.  Cultural Creatives, Business Folks, or just the curious.

Become an active participant!  Visit us virtually. Visit us often. Keep in Touch. Email us. We’d love to hear from you.

Live an artful, inspired life!

All of us @ DMOA

P.S. During our expansion, our historic site, DMOA @ Furman Park is open.
