Statement of Purpose:

The Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Center celebrates life through art by creating an understanding of the visual arts. The Nic is a regional museum which promotes the appreciation of art through education, acquisition, self discovery and exhibits with strong emphasis on the regional arts.

This mission is to be accomplished with a high regard for quality and creativity, and with policies and programs that insure financial self-sufficiency, a challenging and satisfying environment sensitive to our community, and a clear focus on the needs and interests of our diverse audience.

OBJECTIVES

Highlights & Collections:

The museum showcases artists of the Rocky Mountain region with both rotating temporary exhibitions and exhibitions from the museum's permanent collection. The museum has a superb gift shop featuring specialty items found now where else in the area as well as art on consignment from many regional artists and craftsmen.

The museum offers both a research library and a children's library which supplement and enhance the educational opportunities for the museum visitor. Books are available for loan from both libraries.

The Discovery Center offers a wide variety of educational activities for children and adults alike. Changing stations relate current exhibitions to interesting and fun activities for the young museum visitor.
