Can I get artwork appraised or evaluated at The Grace Museum?

The staff of The Grace Museum is not permitted to provide appraisals or evaluations of artwork because we are not licensed as professional art appraisers. It is not possible for staff members to answer requests submitted for opinions on privately owned works of art not included in the Museum collection. We recommend one of the following local professional art appraisers:

Judith Godfrey and Associates, 325-698-4071, www.judithgodfreyassociates.com

Antique and Almost (325) 695-2423, 141 Clyde St, Ste A, Abilene, TX 79605

How can I get my artwork considered for exhibition at The Grace Museum?

A written exhibit proposal must be submitted along with:

- A detailed checklist of art with dimensions and values

- 10 high quality reproductions of the art work: slides, prints, or digital biography and curriculum vitae of the artist

- A list of previous exhibits and catalogues

- All work must be framed, ready to hang or display

Currently exhibitions have been scheduled for the next 2 years. Exhibits are planned 3 years in advance, with few exceptions.

Submissions should be mailed to Judy Deaton, Curator of Art & Exhibits, The Grace Museum, P.O. Box 33, Abilene, TX 79604.

Does The Grace Museum purchase works of art or accept donations of art or artifacts?

The collections policy of The Grace Museum is focused on specific works and is not a general repository. Works of historical value and artistic merit must be reviewed for consideration. Images and documentation may be submitted to the collections committee. Submit inquiries to the Chief Curator.
