GIVING TO GROW – WHY?
The generous donation of close to 80 paintings from the John and Bernice Parrott Foundation in 2006 was the foundation of our Manly MacDonald collection.
Now known as the collecting gallery for MacDonald’s paintings, we have begun to receive private donations from across the country.
With your help, we can grow the collection for the enjoyment of our visitors today and long into the future.
