BANK OF AMERICA DONATES $1 MILLION TO MIAMI ART MUSEUM

The Miami Art Museum has announced a $1 million donation to the museum’s $120 million capital campaign, reports the Miami Herald. The gift will be made through the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, and will fund a five-year programming endowment for new art work, as well as the naming of a focus gallery in MAM’s new Herzog & de Meuron–designed building in Miami’s Museum Park, which is currently under construction and slated to open in 2013. With Bank of America’s support, MAM has now raised approximately $52 million in cash and private pledges through its capital campaign.

“Bank of America’s generous support for Miami Art Museum continues the bank’s long track record of enacting positive change in South Florida’s arts community,” said Aaron Podhurst, chairman of Miami Art Museum’s board of trustees.
