The Mobile Museum Authority - For almost 40 years, Artrain has developed
and delivered world class art and education programs to under-resourced
communities. Artrain's mobile facility is the only one of its kind
designed to carry original artwork across the country. Winner of the
National Medal for Museum Service, Artrain travels to communities across
the United States fulfilling its mission to enrich lives and build
communities through the arts. Since its founding in 1971, Artrain has
traveled coast to coast, making 845 community visits and welcoming 3.2
million visitors.
Connecting People to Art - Artrain brings the museum experience to children and adults, often for the first time. It
creates a unique cultural experience, de-mystifying the world of art, fostering dialogues and helping young and old alike spark
their own creativity.
Energizing Communities - Artrain brings diverse community groups
together, providing guidance in regard to fundraising, organizing and
promoting an exhibit. Artrain has fostered the creation of hundreds of
arts programs around the country and instilled a sense of accomplishment and
pride in their communities. A powerful catalyst, Artrain sparks the
formation of local and regional arts councils, strengthens art education
programs, builds community pride and spurs downtown revitalization efforts.
