The Gulf Coast Community Foundation has awarded a $50,000 Arts Appreciation grant to The Ringling that will support the museum’s Art of Our Time initiative and family programming during the 2020-2021 season. The foundation’s Arts Appreciation grants provide unrestricted funding to cornerstone arts and cultural organizations in the region to help them pursue their artistic missions.

Through its support of Art of Our Time, Gulf Coast is recognized as a sponsor of the contemporary exhibitions Skyway 2021: A Contemporary Collaboration, Being Seen, Howie Tsui: Retainers of Anarchy and Boston Massacre. Additionally, The Ringling’s family programs, which currently operate virtually, will receive support.
