About Us

Our Mission

The Museum of Northwest Art collects, preserves, interprets and exhibits art created in the Pacific Northwest, supports artists, and strives to integrate art into the lives of all people.

Collections & Exhibitions

MoNA collects and exhibits contemporary art from across the Northwest, including Alaska, British Columbia, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.

Education

MoNA's Education Department provides an inclusive environment and stimulating programming that supports the development and expression of all people.

Land Acknowledgement

The Museum of Northwest Art resides on the land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. With gratitude, we honor their stewardship of these lands since time immemorial to the present day. This land acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with indigenous communities.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

The Museum of Northwest Art is committed to be a welcoming place, where all members of the community experience belonging. MoNA strives to be a place in which connecting through the experience of art can lead to a greater understanding of the human condition.
