Hickory Museum of Art

The Hickory Museum of Art (HMA) is an art museum in downtown Hickory, North Carolina that holds exhibitions, events, and public educational programs based on a permanent collection of 19th through 21st century American art. The museum also features a long-term exhibition of Southern contemporary folk art, showcasing the work of self-taught artists from around the region.〔"Discover Folk Art." Hickory Museum of Art.

==History==
The Hickory Museum of Art was established by Hickory artist Paul Whitener. A football player during his college years, Whitener received a series of sports-related injuries that led him to more actively pursue an artistic career. In 1940, he met portrait painter Wilford S. Conrow at an art exhibition in Asheville, North Carolina, and asked the artist to take him on as a student. Conrow agreed, and would come to be influential in the development of Whitener’s idea for a museum of American art in Hickory. With the moral support of his wife, Mildred “Mickey” Whitener Coe, and funding from local industrialist A. Alex Shuford Jr., Whitener organized an art association in Hickory. With neither a collection nor a headquarters, the Association held its first exhibition in November of 1943 in a vacant office building in downtown Hickory. The Hickory Museum of Art was formally dedicated four months later, and Paul Whitener unanimously appointed Director.〔
