The support <strong>of</strong> the federal government<br />
and private sector enables the <strong>Gallery</strong><br />
to fulfill its mission to collect, exhibit,<br />
interpret, and preserve works <strong>of</strong> art at<br />
the highest possible standard. While<br />
the federal government provides an<br />
annual appropriation for the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s<br />
operation and maintenance, works <strong>of</strong><br />
art in the collection, the two buildings,<br />
and the sculpture garden are made<br />
possible through private gifts, as are<br />
numerous educational and scholarly<br />
programs. The <strong>Gallery</strong> extends its<br />
gratitude to both the federal government<br />
and the many generous donors<br />
listed here who made gifts during fiscal<br />
year 2012. These private contributions<br />
have allowed the <strong>Gallery</strong> to enhance<br />
its art collections, build its library<br />
holdings, present special exhibitions,<br />
undertake conservation and research,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer comprehensive educational initiatives,<br />
and pursue scholarly endeavors.<br />
Thanks to the ongoing commitment <strong>of</strong><br />
its supporters and the federal government,<br />
the <strong>Gallery</strong> continues to serve<br />
the American people.<br />

<strong>Gallery</strong> receives no government funds<br />
for the acquisition <strong>of</strong> art. Works <strong>of</strong> art<br />
were added to the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s collection in<br />
fiscal year 2012 through the generosity<br />
<strong>of</strong> the friends listed here.<br />
