Giving With Gopin: Supporting the International Museum of Art in El Paso
At the Law Offices of Michael J. Gopin, PLLC, we believe that giving back means investing in the organizations that preserve the history, culture, and character of our community. In our newest Giving With Gopin episode, we are proud to support the International Museum of Art with a monetary donation to help continue its mission of promoting the visual arts and preserving one of El Paso’s most treasured historic landmarks.
Located in the heart of El Paso’s historic Rio Grande District, the International Museum of Art is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and encouraging the visual arts through local, regional, national, and international exhibitions, educational programs, lectures, gallery talks, guided tours, and community events. The museum serves as an important cultural destination for residents and visitors alike while providing opportunities for artists and art enthusiasts of all ages.
Preserving El Paso’s History Through Art
The International Museum of Art is housed inside the historic Turney Mansion, a beautiful Victorian-style home designed by renowned architect Henry C. Trost and completed in 1909. The home belonged to Texas State Senator William W. Turney and his wife, Iva Turney, who later donated the property to the City of El Paso with the hope that it would always be used to support the arts. Today, that vision continues through the museum’s exhibitions, educational programming, and community outreach.
More than a museum, the International Museum of Art represents an important part of El Paso’s history, preserving both the city’s architectural heritage and its vibrant artistic community.
Supporting the Arts in Our Community
Art has the power to educate, inspire, and bring people together. Through rotating exhibitions, educational programs, guided tours, and cultural events, the International Museum of Art provides a welcoming space where creativity can flourish while celebrating artists from El Paso and beyond. Its mission continues to enrich the Borderland by making art accessible to the community and encouraging lifelong appreciation for the visual arts.
At the Law Offices of Michael J. Gopin, PLLC, we are honored to support organizations like the International Museum of Art that strengthen our community through education, history, and culture.
