Danforth Art Museum and School was established in 1975 by a group of community members who were committed to bringing the arts to Framingham, through exhibitions, museum programs, and studio art classes. The Danforth's founders, led by Paul Marks, a local businessman and fine arts enthusiast, and Justin McCarthy, President of Framingham State, envisioned the Danforth as a cultural destination for the region. Merging with Framingham State University in 2018 to become the Danforth Art Museum at Framingham State University and the Danforth Art School at Framingham State University, the Danforth continues that legacy.
