…following quote taken from The Columbia Museum of Art website.  “The CMA is the cultural heart of a revitalized downtown Columbia, and we love hosting block parties for our neighbors and friends on Boyd Plaza. Our community partners support and sponsor events at the museum, so when you enjoy events at the CMA, you’re also supporting local businesses. It’s a win/win!

The Columbia Museum of Art is among the leading art institutions in the country. In our 25+ galleries, you’ll find art that spans 5,000 years of history and all areas of the globe. Our Wells Fargo Interactive Education Gallery is always free for children and families. Established in 1950, we now welcome and reach more than 150,000 people a year. We have received a National Medal for Museum and Library Service, a National Art Education Association award for our contributions to arts education, a National Park Foundation Award, and two Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Governor’s Awards for the Arts for outstanding contributions to the arts in South Carolina. We are institutional members of Southeastern Museums Conference, American Alliance of Museums, South Carolina Arts Alliance, and South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations.”
