Reflecting the Federal Reserve System's support of the goals of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Richmond Fed provided for the acquisition of art when it began constructing its new headquarters building in 1975. The art program was designed to serve two basic purposes: to provide enjoyment, education and a stimulating environment for employees and visitors and to give encouragement and support to the arts in the Fifth Federal Reserve District.

Many works from the collection are available for viewing on our web site.
