The Museum of Friends is a 501 © (3) nonprofit educational organization that relies on your support to keep its doors open. Your membership donations allow MoF to share its collections and programs with an ever increasing audience. We have expanded the public and educational programs and changing exhibitions to offer something for many ages and interests in our community. As a tourist destination, MoF aligns with the local and County Spanish Peaks Tourism department to raise public understanding of contemporary art and social issues to bring more visitors each year to Walsenburg to enjoy a robust exhibition schedule.
