Founded in 1977, AMoA has promoted understanding and appreciation of art through three decades of exhibits and educational outreach programs. The mission of AMoA is to preserve, exhibit, and promote visual art throughout Central Louisiana in a way that contributes to the quality of life. To accomplish this, we educate, in order to advance the public’s knowledge of and appreciation for the value of art as a source of beauty, inspiration, information and expression.  

AMoA entices visitors of diverse tastes with rotating exhibitions of art from our permanent collection, traveling exhibits from around the world, and exceptional contemporary artists.  Educational programs are implemented to complement exhibitions. AMoA also serves as a downtown campus for LSUA classes, and is host to multidisciplinary community events, including concerts and recitals,Lectures, yoga classes, Second Saturday Markets, and Museum "Afterhours" programming which support all art forms – film, literature and poetry,songwriting and visual arts.

This community-centered approach adopted by the museum proceeds from our mission; the AMoA desires to be the model of a learning and enrichment facility that reflects the essence of the community and region that created it. In an effort to become self sufficient and sustainable, the Alexandria Museum of Art endeavors to establish programming that is collaborative in nature, beneficial to the community, and advances our mission.
