The New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) has raised more than $30,000 thanks to the Adopt an Artwork exhibition, an initiative launched in 2015 that aims to help lessen the burden of preservation costs for artworks in the Museum’s collection.

Jennifer Taylor, Registrar and Collections Manager at NERAM, says: ‘We are so delighted by the response from our community to both the exhibition and program. Each new adoption of a permanent collection artwork extends not only the life of the artwork, but that of the collection as a whole. It is incredible to see the visible difference preservation activities can make.’
