Art Museum Announces Expansion Plans

The Asheville Art Museum,  located at 2 South Pack Sqaure in Asheville North Carolina, has announced expansion plans. The  Museum will keep its location in Pack Place while expanding the current facility and absorbing the space currently occupied by Health Adventure, scheduled to relocate in 2011.

The capital campaign, with an estimated cost of $24 million, would double the size of the museum to nearly 51,000 square feet  allowing more of the permanent collection to be shown and larger and more diverse traveling exhibits. The already extensive education programs will also benefit. The project is predicted to begin construction in 2011 and have a tentative completion in 2013. Photo courtesy of The Citizen Times.com.

Wouldn't this be a great time to support the Museum? Until December 31, 2009, people age 70 ½ and older, may transfer up to $100,000 directly from a traditional or Roth IRA to the Asheville Art Museum - some restrictions apply contact Scott Bunn or Rebecca Lynch-Maass at (828) 253-3227 for details.
