The Downey Museum of Art  is a Place to Celebrate

We have re-imagined the Museum as a place to celebrate contemporary life through the arts and ideas of our time.

We seek to make visible art, culture, imagination, and ideas in ways that enhance our lives and the life of the community.

And we  offer a place for visionaries, artists, writers, poets, musicians, and grass roots thinkers to have a voice and share their creations.

Art and Ideas should be easily accessible to all. Beauty is important to daily life. Sharing Stories is a part of the fabric of life.

Remember to Dream. Live Sustainably. Think Green!

These are some of the important principles and values the new Downey Museum of Art is built upon.

Mission:
To explore contemporary life and ideas through culture and the arts. And to document and present ideas on contemporary life that inspire a better world.

Vision:
To reinvent the role the Museum can play in the community. To become a model for 21st century life. To be a village green, a town hall, and a real life lab of contemporary ideas. (see complete vision, principles, purpose)

Belief:

Sustainability is one of the most important ideas of our time. (What is Sustainability?)
