Mission  Statement

The Friends Guild of the Longview Museum of Fine Arts provides members with special art-focused programming throughout the year and a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. 

Proceeds raised by the Friends enable LMFA to purchase much needed equipment for the Museum and to acquire new works of art for the Permanent Collection.

OPENING NIGHT RECEPTIONS: Volunteers provide hors d'oeuvres and other foods for sampling during our opening night receptions. They may also serve beverages, replenish the food table and help set up and clean up. These opening receptions are held for the benefit of the members before the exhibit is opened to the public and most openings feature a chance to meet the artist and entertainment.
     

 

GREETERS: Volunteers serve as greeters during the Museum’s regular business hours. As greeters, they answer phones, direct visitors and art students and assist with Museum mailings and other miscellaneous office needs.
     

 

MUSEUM SPRING CLEANING DAY: Twice a year, guild members gather to sort through and reorganize the Museum’s various areas: classrooms, kitchen & workrooms.

Below is a note that one of our Friends sent after attending the 44th Artists' Invitational Mixed Media on Saturday, July 15, 2006.

"That was a splendid display of beautiful works and a fabulous celebration of the art.  You ladies and gents really out did yourself for this occasion.  The music was the best - as was the food and wine. 

I'm so glad I have joined the LMFA and look forward to years of enlightenment and fun.

The flamingo collection is coming right along.  They looked so beautiful on display Sat. nite. 

I work full time and more Monday thru Friday  - am off on weekends - - will help when I can; call me if you need me.

Thanks for all you do. 
Martha Thompson"
