What We Do

Joslyn Art Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the visual arts of the highest quality, fostering appreciation and enjoyment of art for the benefit of a diverse audience. The Museum is dedicated to providing learning opportunities for adults, youth and families, school and university students and faculty, and under-served groups. Education programs are designed for all ages to learn from and respond to art, and to participate in many ways, including through their own creative expression. Joslyn’s outreach efforts to the community strive to make the Museum relevant and accessible to all. In fall 2021, the Museum began construction on the new Rhonda and Howard Hawks Pavilion - a transformational expansion reflecting the promise of new art and experiences open to all. While the Museum will be closed for two years beginning May 2, 2022, Joslyn staff will continue its curatorial and research work, and offer a multitude of off-site in-person and virtual programming and events (Joslyn Around Town) with community partners to continue connecting our audiences to art even when access to galleries is unavailable.
