Our Mission

The Laynor Foundation Museum is established as a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing community needs through intergenerational education relating to the visual arts. The Laynor Foundation Museum also functions as a catalyst in assisting in the developments of public, private partnerships.

The Laynor Foundation Museum awards scholarships annually to visual arts students at selected colleges and universities, who are in need of financial assistance. To support the scholarship program and the charitable community needs, funds are generated through special activities, sale of artwork, donations, and grants.

The Laynor Foundation Museum was established in September, 1992 as a non profit organization to support and encourage art students.
