The Fayetteville Museum of Art was founded in 1971. Originally housed in downtown Fayetteville's historic Market House, the Museum moved in 1978 to its present facility that was the first building in the State of North Carolina designed and built as an Art Museum. In addition to the modern facility that includes two (2) galleries, classrooms, studio space, an Art Reference & Slide Lending Library, and a Museum Store, the Museum's 5.8 acre grounds and pond give the Fayetteville community a place to gather for relaxation. The park-like setting is an oasis in the midst of a heavily trafficked area; it is also utilized for large scale sculpture displays, art festivals and public concerts. Admission to the Museum is always free, though donations are encouraged. It is the mission of the Fayetteville Museum of Art to collect, conserve, display art, and present a program of art education in order to enhance the appreciation of the visual arts by the people of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and its surrounding areas.
We are open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Visit www.fayettevillemuseumart.org for more information! The Museum is currently seeking to relocate downtown to Festival Park to suit its expansion needs. A picture of the design for the new building is below. |

Exhibitions:
Perceived Realities March 15 -May 11, 2008 Artists Kathleen Jardine, Margarita Leon, Eric Ton, and Leland Wallin exhibit layered surfaces with layered meanings. The rich color palette of these works is lighthearted and whimsical yet commands serious interpretation. Objects are wrapped in pattern, textures, shapes, and motifs suggesting a symbolically rich narrative. The use of juxtaposed objects and manipulated perspectives will redefine your discernment of reality. The Fayetteville Museum of Art invites you to explore your perception of reality. Fused and Divided Life & Art Exhibition dates May 17 – July 13, 2008 Premiere Party Friday, May 16, 6-8pm Featuring Chapel Hill Artists: The Never-www.thenever.org Exhibition description – This exhibition features the work of two leading contemporary artists from Charleston, South Carolina. Yvette Dede and Herb Parker will engage the viewer through their style, subject matter, and technique in an exploration of space. The interlacing of Dede’s drawings and Parker’s sculptures mirror their fused lives and divided aesthetic approach. Forsaken: Edifice and Landscape Premiere Party Friday, July 18th 6-8pm Exhibition Dates: July 19 – September 7, 2008 Narrating with textures from architecture and nature, these contemporary artists explore themes of abandonment. The work of Joyce Fillip, Rachel Herrick, and Rudy Rudisill investigate the cultural landscapes of traditional and contemporary perspectives. This exhibition seeks to bring light not only to places of physical abandonment, but also to places of forsaken emotions.
