The Fayetteville Museum of Art was founded in 1971. Originally housed in downtown Fayetteville's historic Market House, the Museum moved in 1978 to its present facility that was the first building in the State of North Carolina designed and built as an Art Museum. In addition to the modern facility that includes two (2) galleries, classrooms, studio space, an Art Reference & Slide Lending Library, and a Museum Store, the Museum's 5.8 acre grounds and pond give the Fayetteville community a place to gather for relaxation. The park-like setting is an oasis in the midst of a heavily trafficked area; it is also utilized for large scale sculpture displays, art festivals and public concerts. Admission to the Museum is always free, though donations are encouraged. It is the mission of the Fayetteville Museum of Art to collect, conserve, display art, and present a program of art education in order to enhance the appreciation of the visual arts by the people of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and its surrounding areas.
We are open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Visit www.fayettevillemuseumart.org for more information! The Museum is currently seeking to relocate downtown to Festival Park to suit its expansion needs. A picture of the design for the new building is below. |
