About Us
Funding for Art Explorer was provided in part by the Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation. The application was created with the generous support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an independent Federal grant-making agency dedicated to creating and sustaining a nation of learners by helping libraries and museums serve their communities.
