The Bill Holm Center is currently engaged in several projects to further its mission and establish a globally accessible learning center at the Burke Museum, promote scholarly research on Northwest Native art, increase Native and public access to research resources, and foster appreciation and understanding of Native art of the Pacific Northwest.

These projects are funded by grants and private donations. To support projects like these, please consider making an online gift to the Bill Holm Center.
