The Ellen Noël Art Museum Capital Enhancement Project will begin its construction starting in November 2022.
The project will take around 14 months, and has fundraised $9.5 million of the $12 million goal.
The new museum will be around 36,000 sq. ft., and eliminate barriers to entry by creating a single delineated entrance. There will also be a maximum exhibition space of 14,000 sq. ft.
The Ellen Noël Art Museum opened back in 1985 and the goal of the museum is to allow people to connect with art through exhibitions, collections and outreach.
The temporary location for the Ellen Noël Art Museum will be at the UT Permian Basin Shepperd Leadership Institute on 4919 University Blvd in Odessa. The exhibition and programming will begin on September 2022.
