Hickory Museum of Art is a small-to-mid-sized cultural institution based in Hickory, North Carolina. Founded in 1944 to collect, care for, and exhibit American art, it has evolved into an arts center with a substantial permanent collection across media and educational programs for all ages. It serves the Unifour region, comprising Catawba, Caldwell, Burke, and Alexander Counties, by promoting visual arts and collaboration as an inclusive community hub with free admission. Its audience includes local residents, families, students, and visitors seeking access to American art and related educational experiences. In 2023, the museum announced the retirement of its long-time education manager after 25 years in that role.
