Washington County Museum of Fine Arts (WCMFA)

Washington County Museum of Fine Arts (WCMFA) is an art museum located in Hagerstown, Maryland, United States. The building is located off Park Circle and serves as a centerpiece in Hagerstown City Park. The museum was donated in 1929, by Mr. and Mrs. William Singer, Jr. It was completed in 1931, and two wings were added in 1949. The museum provides residents and visitors with access to a nationally recognized permanent collection and a rotating schedule of exhibitions, musical concerts, lectures, films, art classes and special events for children and adults throughout the year. The collections include 19th & early 20th Century American Art, Old Masters, and Decorative art.

The strength of the museum's collection has always been in 18th and early 20th Century art with paintings from such artists as Benjamin West and Thomas Sully. The American landscape tradition is represented with works by Thomas Cole, Thomas Moran, Frederic Edwin Church, Jasper Cropsey, Albert Bierstadt, George Inness, John Frederick Kensett and other members of the Hudson River School. Classic works by American impressionists Childe Hassam and Willard Leroy Metcalf, came into the collection through William and Anna Singer's friendships with these artists. The Ashcan School has excellent examples of paintings by George Luks, Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase, Arthur B. Davies, and Eduard Steichen. A small but significant group of European, Asian, and African art is complemented by art Decco glass by Tiffany and Lalique. Contemporary and early American art and the pottery of the eccentric George Ohr fill out the WCMFA's diverse collection.
