On her birthday, Beyoncé makes A $2 million gift to THE Studio Museum in HARLEM. Sep 04, 2026, 15:00 ET THE LANDMARK NEW YORK CITY CULTURAL INSTITUTION HAS CHAMPIONED THE WORK OF ARTISTS OF AFRICAN DESCENT FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS HARLEM, N.Y., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - To mark her birthday today, global entertainer, entrepreneur and art collector, Beyoncé, makes a $2 million gift to the renowned Studio Museum in Harlem. Founded in 1968, the New York City cultural institution is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally and for work that has been inspired and influenced by Black culture. Beyoncé has long been an art collector and a true fan of the Museum's mission of promoting multiple generations of artists of the African diaspora. "Art tells all our stories; the past and the present, but is not always accessible to everyone," says Beyoncé. "I have always been impressed with the Studio Museum in Harlem because of its intention to make the museum an integral part of the community. I have been introduced to several of my favorite young and upcoming Black artists through exhibits at the Museum. It is a place of inspiration where all audiences can discover new stories through the canvases of diverse storytellers that reflect our humanity." Thelma Golden, Ford Foundation Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, said, "I am deeply grateful to Beyoncé, both for the generosity of this gift, especially on her birthday, and for recognizing the vital role that the Studio Museum plays in people's lives. Our institution was founded to shift the arts landscape and reimagine who that landscape serves. This gift will allow us to continue strengthening our work for Harlemites, New Yorkers, and audiences across the globe."
