On the evening of January 29, 2023, The Grace Museum celebrated its eleventh annual Collectors Circle event. The tradition was established in 2012 by the museum’s Exhibitions and Collections Committee with goals of bringing new focus and raising funds to acquire additional works of art for the permanent collection. The collection itself originated in 1937 with the founders of the Abilene Fine Arts Museum’s goal to collect art for the good of the citizens of Abilene. The Grace Museum is the steward of the collection that has grown for the last eight decades through carefully screened donations from artists, collectors and private individuals to create an exemplary collection of American art with Texas connections.
