Five Oaks Museum is a gathering place of vibrant art, culture and storytelling — a resource for all who are curious about the world around us. We believe museums have an active role in activism and social justice, and in shaping how history is remembered and told. As a whole, they stem from projects of colonialism and collection, and must reckon with that legacy and organization framework. Furthermore, the way that organizations allocate their resources communicates their priorities. We put our money behind our ethics by categorizing our expenses by our museum’s five values: Body, Land, Truth, Justice, and Community.
