Recent Acquisitions

As a non-profit art museum, Polk Museum of Art is largely reliant on the generosity of its community. Thankfully, the Museum has been blessed with an incredibly supportive community. New artworks added to the Permanent Collection are typically donations or are purchased with funds that have been donated. Donated artworks go through an intense selection process before being added to the Permanent Collection; in order to ensure the strength of the Collection, each artwork must be approved by the Executive Director, the Collections Committee, and the Board of Trustees. 

Currently, the Permanent Collection consists of over 2,300 artworks, and usually only 10-15% of these artworks are on display at one time. This exhibition will showcase some of the artworks that have joined the Museum's Permanent Collection in 2016.
