Established in 1975, the Freeport Art Museum (FAM) is housed in a converted brick school built in 1911. The building is owned by the City of Freeport and is leased to FAM. The Museum exhibits art from its large collection as well as regional contemporary artists, and brings traveling exhibitions to the community. FAM supports performing arts and develops art education programming for all ages. The museum serves as a re-granting agency through the Community Arts Access program with the Illinois Arts Council, distributing important funding to a wide variety of arts programs across the area.
