The Alliance of HBCU Museums & Galleries celebrates 10 years of cultural and narrative change work.

We are so glad you found us. The Alliance of HBCU Museums & Galleries is proudly celebrating 10 years of building pathways and changing the face of art conservation and cultural heritage. For a decade we have worked tirelessly to protect and conserve museum and gallery collections at HBCUs, safeguard cultural legacies, and open doors for the next generation of conservators, curators, and museum professionals. To mark this milestone, we are inviting our community to be part of the celebration. Would you consider a gift of $100 to help us carry this work into the next decade? Every dollar makes a difference.

The Alliance supports efforts to protect, preserve, conserve, catalogue, and digitize collections held by its HBCU member institutions. Through ongoing conservation efforts, our team of curators, conservators, and collections specialists work diligently to stabilize fragile HBCU materials and apply best practices in preventive care.

Being affiliated with the Alliance has had a significant impact on my chosen career path, and maturation as a young professional. I have been exposed to a multitude of disciplines within the museum field and have made an innumerable amount of professional contacts. The Alliance has prioritized my networking and collaboration skills which I continue to employ in my position now. Overall, the experience has been supremely positive

— TUSKEGEE GRADUATE

The Alliance of HBCU Museums and Galleries programming completely changed my career path. I had initially wanted to become a lawyer, but I knew my heart was in being an artist and I did not see a way to combine my love for art and history, outside of teaching. Yet, this program introduced me to a world I never knew existed. It gave me first-hand experience in fields that have been largely closed off to people of color. I now want to become a museum director. I would have never imagined myself in that role had I not been in the programming.

— TEXAS SOUTHERN GRADUATE

I would enthusiastically recommend the Alliance to other students. The Alliance has given me incredible opportunities, but more importantly, it has given me confidence. I am learning from leaders who have paved the way for my future. If I have a problem or if I am in need of counsel, I have mentors to turn to. I know that whatever challenge I face, the Alliance has prepared me. I know that can collectively bring about change…so that museums may continue to be relevant to a broader section of our society for the next 100 years.
