Make a Difference at Krannert Art Museum

One of the leading art museums in the country, Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois houses over 9,000 original works of art - treasures that span 6,000 years and represent the cultures of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.  In addition to its permanent collection the museum mounts outstanding temporary exhibitions throughout the year in a welcoming and spacious environment. 

A valuable community resource, KAM is committed to bringing dynamic exhibitions and educational events to our community and to the entire region.


What is the Krannert Art Museum Council?

The KAM Council is the museum's independent support group.  It is made up of a widely varied group of art enthusiasts who are deeply committed to the museum and its mission.  Established in 1964 to assist the museum with activities and programs, the Council has its own bylaws, committees, and governing board of officers.  Council members work closely with others who share an interest in art and, by developing an understanding of the inner workings of an art museum, expand its outreach to the community.


How does the Council support the museum?

The KAM Council supports the museum by:

• Providing financial support through fundraising events
• Hosting opening night receptions for exhibitions
• Sponsoring lecture series
• Organizing art-related trips and lecture luncheons
• Serving as ambassadors to the community

The Krannert Art Museum Council is a group of dedicated art enthusiasts who are working together to support the museum and its mission.
