Invest in the Arts at Auburn

BEHIND-THE-SCENES AT THE JULE Walking through the serene galleries on an ordinary day, you may never sense the flurry of activity to present exhibitions. Crews add vibrant color to gallery walls; loans are secured from major institutions; art handlers transport art, ensuring its care; educators and designers create a welcoming environment for students, faculty and visitors.

And these high-caliber attractions are available with free admission in Auburn — for everyone to explore, experience and engage with the visual arts.

OUR EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Four dynamic exhibitions explore environmental science and the humanities. Come home to Auburn this fall and spend some time at The Jule.

AUGUST 23, 2022 – APRIL 1, 2023

DONATIONS DRIVE THE WORK At The Jule, we believe in hard work, too—work on behalf of the entire region to create these a-ha moments for cultural exchange and new insights.

State funding covers less than 50% of program costs.

Gifts to underwrite exhibitions are essential to invite a who’s who of contemporary art and partner with top arts and cultural organizations from around the country. Securing collection loans and building the university art collection for exhibition requires additional support.

The balance comes from people like you who recognize the value of an art museum for the university and the state. Will you invest in the arts at Auburn to continue the work?
