Support the Eric Carle Museum
In its first four years, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art has provided nearly 325,000 visitors (including close to 20,000 children visiting with their schools) the opportunity to discover their own creativity, to explore the vital connections between visual and verbal literacy, and to build the confidence to appreciate and enjoy art of every kind. In addition, the Museum has established itself as a premier resource for parents, educators, librarians, and others interested in the power of picture book art to transform learning, and has been the recipient of important gifts to the permanent collection from noted national and international picture book artists.
Help us build upon the momentum of these first critical years by supporting the Museum and its important mission in any way that you can. Every contribution, large and small, has a positive impact on the Museum’s ability to present world-class exhibitions, programs, and classes both in Amherst and in communities across the country.
