Baltimore Museum of Art Lands Record $10 Million Gift for Education

The Stoneridge Foundation’s donation creates a permanent education endowment to expand community access.

Overview

  • The gift from Amy and Marc Meadows’ Stoneridge Foundation establishes the Amy and Marc Meadows Education Endowment.
  • Funding will cover bus transportation for public school visits, free family programs on Sundays, and a new two-year pass allowing student participants to bring guests.
  • The endowment expands a fourth-grade art program for Baltimore City Public Schools to include free admission to ticketed exhibitions.
  • Workforce initiatives include paid teaching apprenticeships, internships for future museum professionals, and new educator positions to address an understaffed department.
  • Leadership will add an adult speaker series and civic programs in the coming months, with a goal of boosting last year’s roughly 15,000 student visits.
