OGUNQUIT, Maine — A Maine art museum is receiving a large donation from one of its board members that the museum’s board president says will enable a “bold step into the future.”
The Portland Press Herald reports Ann Ramsay-Jenkins is giving the nearly $2 million gift to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. Museum board president David Mallen says the gift is “significant to a museum of our size.”
