The Alper Initiative for Washington Art is dedicated to preserving, presenting, and creating Washington’s art history through three annual exhibitions, a salon-style gallery talk series, a library of 200+ Washington art books, and a database of Washington artist proposals made available to guest curators.

The Alper Initiative for Washington Art was made possible through a generous endowment from èßäÉçÇøapp University alumna, artist, and art advocate,ÌýCarolyn Small AlperÌý(1927-2020). According to her vision, the Alper provides the space and resources to fulfill one of the èßäÉçÇøapp University Museum's primary objectives and the region's greatest needs: promote an understanding and appreciation of our region's art and artists from our past, present, and future. The Alper is an exhibition space and a center for study and research, but primarily a meeting place for people and ideas.
