Pledge to make a difference, together.
True to the ambitious vision of its founder and her spirit of creative risk-taking, the mission of the Isabella Stewart Gardner is: to bring to life and preserve the rich historic collection; to cultivate talent in the pursuit of knowledge and acts of creation in the arts and humanities; to support artists, landscape architects, musicians, scholars, and students; and, to engage local and global audiences in a sanctuary of beauty and the arts where deeply personal and communal adventures unfold.
