Join our community of artists and supporters shaping the future of American Art!
Since its founding, the Addison has exhibited and acquired contemporary art with a boldness and enthusiasm rare for a museum of its size and unique location on the campus of a secondary school. Often the first museum in New England, if not the U.S., to introduce an artist’s work or mount a retrospective, the Addison’s storied history includes many “firsts” with exhibitions, acquisitions, or residencies by such highly regarded artists as Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Hans Hofmann, Andy Warhol, and Francesca Woodman. When you join the Addison Artist Council (AAC), you help award an American artist with the Bartlett H. Hayes Jr. Prize, providing them with the opportunity for their first U.S. solo museum show, an artist’s residency, a publication, and an acquisition of their work for the Addison’s permanent collection.
Help shape the future of American art by becoming a member of the Addison Artist Council! Renew or join today to stay up to date on news pertaining to the Fall 2025 residency and exhibition featuring Tommy Kha, the 2025 Hayes Prize winner. You’ll also learn more about how you can participate in the process for the selection of our next prize winner.
