The PAMM Fund for Black Art was initiated with a $1 million grant, funded equally by Darlene and Jorge M. Pérez and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, for the purchase of contemporary art by Black artists for the museum’s permanent collection. Through the Fund, the museum first acquired works by Al Loving, Faith Ringgold, and Xaviera Simmons. In 2018, the museum created an endowment with a challenge grant from the Knight Foundation, in order to maintain the Fund in perpetuity.

The Ambassadors for Black Art is a membership group that supports the PAMM Fund for Black Art, a fund dedicated to the acquisition of works by Black artists and related programming. Your support will ensure that South Florida’s flagship art museum represents the diversity of the community it serves for years to come, while elevating appreciation of Black art and culture.

The PAMM Ambassadors for Black Art enjoy benefits including free museum admission, invitations to quarterly events, recognition on PAMM’s website, and much more. This important opportunity and your invaluable participation are part of what makes Miami special. Many of Miami’s most influential business, civic, and cultural leaders and advocates have already signed on. Will you?
