Art. Community. Museum. Education.

ACME is a three-part outreach initiative dedicated to rethinking the public role of museums. ACME Lab, ACME Sessions, and ACME Scholars are designed to transform how the UMFA connects with, engages, and learns from our community.

ACME Initiative has increased community access to the arts and earned accolades and support locally and nationally.

The ACME Initiative was awarded a $35,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Read details here.

Read a recap report of the first year of ACME Sessions here.
