As many know, the Longmont Museum is in the midst of an $8.1 million dollar expansion project. The capital campaign to support the expansion is privately funded and will not raise taxes in our community. The museum expansion is an excellent opportunity for the people of Longmont, and surrounding areas, to focus energy and money on an existing, successful cultural gem that has served Longmont well for many years.
The Longmont Museum expansion will include:
- A new dedicated, hands-on Children's Gallery: Allowing year-round play, learning and exploration.
- Feature Gallery expansion: Nearly doubling the size of the feature gallery to host more artists, accommodate multiple exhibits simultaneously, and feature more robust touring exhibits.
- Courtyard renovation: Expanding and enhancing a beloved public space, including construction of a new stage, opening in summer 2024.
The Longmont Museum is already 82% of the way towards their campaign goal. We invite the community to consider supporting this important Museum expansion that is already well on its way to success through the generosity of the people like you.
The Museum’s 250-seat Stewart Auditorium will continue to be a state-of-the-art venue for concerts, dance, theater, films and talks. It’s the proud host to local organizations such as the Centennial State Ballet, the Longmont Symphony Orchestra, the Boulder International Film Festival, and many other talented artists.
The Friends of Longmont Museum is accepting donations of all sizes for the Museum Expansion and 100% of your donation goes directly to the building expansion.
