Through the generosity of the members of the 13th Annual Collectors Circle, the goal of creating an outstanding museum art collection, as stated in 1936, continues to exceed the founders expectations. This exhibition features the 10 important works of art purchased by the 2025 Collectors Circle for the permanent collection. The care, preservation, and exhibition of works of art in the collection continues to be a major mission for the Museum as the only professional collecting institution in the Abilene area. The Grace Museum’s permanent art collection includes outstanding paintings, watercolors, photographs, fine art prints, multimedia constructions and sculpture that are frequently on view and loaned to other museums across the United States.
