Dear Friends of the Coe Center,
Above all else, we value the health and well-being of our staff, our visitors, and our community and so with the potential increased risk and quickly changing nature of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), therefore the Coe Center has decided to close its space to visitors for the moment.
Even so, we are continuing to bring the collection to you through our online programs. Peruse through the website; sign up for our Eletter, The Virtual Coe to learn more, and become engaged with the Coe collection.
Thank you again for your on-going support, as well as for heeding the protective/preemptive advice of hand-washing, personal distancing, and any other precautions we can take as individuals. Our hearts go out to all, especially those individuals and communities being impacted most.
Wishing you all well,
Rachel de W. Wixom
President, Executive Director

What We Do

Grassroots Organizing
We work at the grassroots, serving as a catalyst for change that will evolve and expand through the years.

Community Partners
We partner with other arts groups, schools, and community organizations so we can serve more people in more ways.

Supporting Artists
We engage with artists to give full rein to their creativity, without constraints, encouraging them to engage audiences with their unique voices.

Educating Young People
We work with young people to open their eyes to their own inherent abilities and their powerful heritages. And our Hands-On Student Curators and fellows learn skills they can use throughout their lives in any endeavor.
Get Involved
You can volunteer, make a donation, or sponsor a community experience. And, we welcome your ideas!
“When you hold a thing you’re there in the moment, of how it was used and how it was made.”
“I revisit and bear constantly in mind the objects of my collection to gain new insights. They are not trophies but instruments of passion, with the power to unexpectedly reveal mysteries.”
