The Roswell Museum and Art Center Foundation promotes and supports the Roswell Museum and Art Center, its educational programs, and its operation and maintenance.

Since 1987, our goal has been to support the Museum by providing financial resources to develop programs that inspire learning and creative exchange. Through this commitment, the Museum has become a vigorous community partner and southeastern New Mexico’s preeminent resource for arts and humanities programming.
