Statement of Purpose

The Paul Dickerson Studio Art Museum

In general, the Corporation will receive and administer funds and operate exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501 © (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, its amendments, or of comparable provisions of subsequent legislation (referred to generally as the "Code"), and to give or receive funds and/or property from time to time to other organizations to be used directly in carrying out one of more of the Corporation's purposes.

In particular, the Corporation will make its resources available for the preservation, study and interpretation of the visual arts, in dedication to the memory of Paul Dickerson. These goals will be accomplished, in part, through exhibitions, cooperative study programs, library resources, lectures and similar programs directed toward the general public, art student's and art scholars. The programs will focus, in part, on study and exploration of the creative process from conceptual origin to completion of works of art, including insight into the aesthetics, criticism, philosophy, intellectual process, and cultural application of art in society.
