In 1996, Arthur I. Appleton’s sister, Edith-Marie Appleton, was delighted to officially open a new wing of the Appleton Museum of Art named in her honor.  


The 20,000 square-foot addition includes 4,000 square feet of exhibition space to display temporary exhibitions that complement the Appleton’s permanent collection and educate visitors about new and different art forms. The additional 16,000 square-feet contains the dynamic Artspace, two classrooms, offices and storage space.
