FISCAL YEAR 2023 ANNUAL REPORT
ABOUT THE HENRY
The Henry believes in the power of art to challenge norms, transform hearts, and build community.
The Henry is at the forefront of advancing contemporary art and ideas. As Washington State’s first art museum, the Henry has a long history of championing artists at every level of creation and stage in their career. Exhibitions range from intimate photography presentations drawn from the museum’s vast collection to largescale, commissioned installations by some of today’s most prolific artists. Creative experimentation, diversity of voices, and a rich visitor experience are core values of the Henry.
