Noguchi Museum (Long Island City, New York)
http://www.noguchi.org/
Founded by internationally renowned Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi, The Noguchi Museum is the first museum in America to be established by a living artist for the display of his own work. When Noguchi opened the Museum to the public in 1985, he established The Isamu Noguchi Foundation, Inc. to manage it. In February 2004, the Museum and the Foundation were consolidated into a single entity, The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, receiving a 501(c)(3) public charity status from the IRS. An extremely dedicated Board and staff are committed to the aesthetic that Noguchi articulated through his expansive body of work represented in the Museum and to extending his reach through exhibitions and public and educational programs.
In 2004, the Development Office was established to solicit, for the first time, support on a continuous basis from individuals, corporations and foundations, and to build upon the government support that the Museum had received throughout the years. Over the past five and a half years, the Museum has launched a comprehensive development plan and has successfully met and exceeded its fundraising goals.
