Fresno Art Museum | Explore Art & Culture in Fresno
The Fresno Art Museum stands as a nationally recognized institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing modern and contemporary art. Established in 1949, we have served the San Joaquin Valley with a commitment to cultural education and artistic excellence. Our permanent collection features over 3,800 works, including a renowned collection of Art of the Ancient Americas spanning 2,500 years. We specialize in exhibitions highlighting California artists, women artists, and the diverse cultural heritage of our region. Through educational programs like ArtLink School Tours and the Any Given Child initiative, we engage youth and families in meaningful art experiences.

Our facility hosts rotating exhibitions, community events, and rental spaces for weddings and private gatherings. With a focus on accessibility and inclusivity, we strive to make art accessible to all visitors through free admission days and multilingual resources. Our staff and board of trustees work tirelessly to maintain our position as a cultural cornerstone in Fresno. We collaborate with local schools, artists, and organizations to foster creative expression and lifelong learning. As stewards of our community's artistic legacy, we continue to expand our collections and programs while honoring our historical roots in Radio Park since 1960.
