International Museum of Art El Paso

The International Museum of Art is the People’s Museum. Our goal is to foster cultural understanding through art and education. It is our mission to make art accessible to everyone by supporting and encouraging the visual arts in El Paso. As a community-driven institution, we depend on people like you for support. Please partner with us during the 2025 El Paso Giving Day campaign. Your gift today of $11.41 is equal to one hour of our annual operating cost. A donation of $274.00 supports one full day of our operations. With your help, we are empowered to care for our historic Turney mansion, museum, art gallery, and elegant event venue.

Since the late 1990s, the International Museum of Art has developed a distinct collection of local art and international artifacts in our breathtaking Turney Mansion. We proudly host exhibitions of local artists and share their talents with our community. In 2025, we partnered with organizations like the El Paso Opera, Las Artistas, EPCC’s Senior Adult Program to host exciting programs. We also partnered with local artists like the El Paso Black Arts Association, Francella Baca, Stress Relief through Arts: First Responder’s exhibit, to promote the talent and creatvitiy of our community. Thanks to members and donors like you, we can continue to offer free admission to the Museum and many of our programs. You can stay up to date on all of our exciting events by subscribing to our newsletter here.

Sue Koenig’s Window to the World is the newest international collection at the IMoA. Our generous donor, Sue Koenig is from Colorado and is a lifelong educator. She traversed the globe for over 30 years, visiting 110 different countries, collecting 10,000 items during her travels. Upon returning to Colorado, she opened her museum, “Window to the World” to share the world with her community. She would operate her museum for 12 years until she was no longer able to secure a space to house her collection and it went into storage for 17 years.

The collection now finds its new beginning at the International Museum of Art. Visit our gallery “Sue Koenig’s Window to the World: Africa and Middle East Gallery” today to see some of this amazing collection. Please visit us online to learn more about this amazing collection

We depend on our Museum members, donors, community partners, and people like you to continue our work. Please donate to the IMoA on El Paso Giving Day 2025. With your help, we can continue making art accessible for everyone.
