THE COUTTS MEMORIAL MUSEUM OF ART, INC IS ENGAGED WITH THE COMMUNITY WITH THE PURPOSE OF PRESERVING, DISPLAYING, AND TEACHING ART. THE MUSEUM HOUSES OVER 2,000 PIECES OF ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN THEIR COLLECTION, PRESERVING THEM SUCH THAT THEIR EDUCATIONAL ROLE CAN BE EXTENDED AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. PIECES ARE DISPLAYED FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF SUPPORTING ART AND ART EDUCATION. ON TOP OF ROTATING OUT PARTS OF THE COLLECTIONS TO PUT ON DISPLAY, THE MUSEUM ACTIVELY RECEIVES TEMPORARY EXHIBITS IN ORDER TO WIDEN THE DIVERSITY OF ART DISPLAYED, AS WELL AS TO GIVE NEW AND WIDER AUDIENCES TO THE ARTISTS. IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CONSTITUENTS WHO CAN APPRECIATE THE MUSEUM'S ART, THEY ALSO LOAN ART PIECES OUT TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND MUSEUMS.
