NEVAmuseum offers space for all

A work of the heart for decades, the New England Visionary Artists Museum (NEVAmuseum) offers space for artists who may not typically find a place to showcase their work.

"I like to think of the whole life of the project as simply an imagined thing; it has been built on a shared vision," explained Michael Tillyer, who serves as volunteer co-director of the museum with his partner, Susan Foley. "It is evident that this work has led to something concrete, and its voice is the artists who have used it." It has run on the humble and large cash contributions of the many who have used it as a source of entertainment, learning, and inspiration, and it's been guided by their words.

The museum's groundbreaking work has five main purposes: subsidize artists with neurodiverse conditions, conserve and research regional self-taught and visionary art, give artists the chance to self-stage exhibitions, celebrate new music and performance, and provide art education to income-sensitive citizens.

Leading into our thirtieth year, we are seeking a corps of volunteers, a team to master the complex tasks of managing NEVAmuseum into its sustainable future to be the people's museum our neighborhoods need and our New England Region deserves."
