Organized by the Friends of the JSMA, Art in the Attic is an annual fundraiser for the JSMA that features art and décor from homes throughout the community. This popular event gives you the chance to purchase previously owned treasures at great prices. Funds raised from Art in the Attic supports JSMA’s Fill Up The Bus program, which provides transportation and tour scholarships for K-12 field trips to the museum.
