The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Receives $750,000 Grant

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) has received a grant of $750,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The NEH announced $30.9 million in grants to support 188 humanities projects across the United States. Since 1994, the MCASD has received five grants from the NEH, and this year, the MCASD is the only grantee in San Diego and has received the largest grant dollar award in all of California. These funds will support construction expenses for the museum’s expansion of the La Jolla campus, creating more space for the permanent collection alongside temporary exhibitions. The project will quadruple interior galleries while also creating beautiful outdoor gathering areas, including seaside terraces and an art park.
