Greetings,
We hope your new year is off to a stellar beginning. It's hard to believe that in a few short months we'll be reopening for the season and welcoming visitors into the new
Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing. In the meantime, here's an update on happenings at Maryhill Museum of Art.

$40,000 needed to meet Murdock Trust Matching Grant
As you may recall, last year the museum received a matching grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. For every $2 the museum raises, the Murdock Trust will match that with another $1, up to a maximum of $400,000 to support the museum's historic expansion.
Thanks to generous year-end gifts, and support from many others, we are now within $40,000 of meeting the match!
If you'd like to make a gift toward the match - there is still time and you can do it online at
maryhillmuseum.org/stevenson.html. Click on the "make a donation" link on the left side of the page.
