The Baltimore Museum of Art is set to receive more than $10 million — the single largest gift in its 110-year history — from philanthropists Amy and Marc Meadows, the institution announced Friday.

The promised gift from the Meadows’ Stoneridge Foundation will be used solely for arts education at the museum. The couple are longstanding patrons of the BMA, with Amy Meadows serving as one of the institution’s Honorary Trustees.

Their newly established Amy and Marc Meadows Education Endowment will “progressively distribute funds” toward specific educational initiatives until the entire gift, plus interest, has been allocated, according to a press release from the BMA.

The initiatives include new resources for Baltimore-area school children and their families. They plan on supporting transportation for organized public school trips and a two-year pass system that will allow some students to bring family, caregivers or friends to the museum for free. Art-making workshops known as Free Family Sundays will also be expanded, allowing more families with children aged 6- to 9-years-old to access drop-in programming for free.

Opportunities to learn about museum-related careers and the institution’s ability to educate the community will increase. A BMA internship program will be made available for undergraduate students of nearby universities and a speaker series is being planned for the public to teach about the museum’s role in informing the broader community.

“The phrase ‘art patrons’ does not begin to describe the passion, intellectual rigor, and peerless insights that Amy and Marc have shared with me over the many years of our friendship,” said BMA Director Asma Naeem in the press release. “With the Amy and Marc Meadows Education Endowment, the BMA will give Baltimore and our communities the resources they deserve: a thoughtful range of programs and opportunities for students, families and caregivers, and lifelong learners.”

The gift is the latest in a series of big moves for the local institution. The BMA is also hosting Amy Sherald’s “American Sublime” exhibit after she pulled it from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. The homecoming for the former Maryland Institute College of the Arts student, who spent her formative years in Baltimore, opens Nov. 2.
