In April, Terra [Foundation for American Art] and Art Bridges gave $700,000 to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to support a program that will make it possible for the PMA to loan 16 works of art to eight smaller Pennsylvania museums, where they will be shown as part of exhibitions mostly drawn from the permanent collections of those museums. It’s the latest step in a long-term plan to underwrite large-scale exhibitions in Pennsylvania organized along similar lines: Terra and Art Bridges have already made similar grants to the Detroit Institute of Arts and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. All are part of a six-year program aimed at creating an “art-sharing network” of 80 museums.
