GIFT NEWS

We are delighted to announce a $300,000 gift from the Hsin-Yi Foundation in Taipei, Taiwan, to underwrite Eric Carle exhibitions for ten years in the West Gallery. We are so grateful!
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
The Institute of Museum and Library Services announced the National Medal Winners on April 21. While The Carle was not named a medalist, we were still thrilled - at the age of only 12 - to be named a finalist. We thank the more than 80 friends who Shared their Story on the IMLS page. We are grateful for your support and will continue to strive for excellence in all we do. View some of the "stories" our friends shared on our website.
