Because of you, Auburn University’s art museum, The Jule, remains an admission-free space where students and all of Auburn, our state and our region can connect through art. Because of you, The Jule creates an active and welcoming environment where the freedom to dream is welcomed and encouraged. And because of you, we all are inspired to Be Curious.
In 2024, The Jule instilled this spirit of curiosity in more than 18,000 visitors and program participants. To continue our vital work in 2025, we are focusing on these priorities:
Expanding the Auburn Student Experience
Free admission eliminates financial barriers and elevates the Auburn student experience, allowing them a place and space to gain confidence and knowledge about art and museums, whatever their course of study. They develop new ways of thinking and experiencing while deepening their understanding of themselves, others, and the broader world. The Jule interacted with over 2,700 Auburn University students in 2024 through classes and individual visits, and we aim to increase that number in the coming year.
“Being a student guide at The Jule has taught me interpersonal skills and how to engage with people of all age groups and demographics. These are priceless skills that I know I will carry with me.”

Growing Relationships through Museum in Motion
The Jule drives innovation across the state with this educational outreach effort, building relationships and supporting communities. In 2024, more than 5,000 Alabamians participated in offsite art engagements. Additionally, The Jule served more than 1,200 PreK-12 students through onsite visits and community programs.
Enhancing The Jule’s Engagements
Our ability to present exhibitions and invite artists to visit campus provides invaluable opportunities for Auburn students and faculty to consider a variety of viewpoints and historical periods.
As we look ahead to 2025, we need your continued support to keep the arts accessible for everyone.
Please consider a year-end gift to The Jule today.
Together, we can ensure the university art museum remains a vibrant center for sharing ideas and a statewide resource that extends arts education.
