Your support helps advance our mission and enables us to maintain free admission, free membership, and free public programs. 

The Gallery is grateful for the enthusiastic participation of its members and the tremendous generosity of the donors whose love of art and education make possible the range of activities at this venerable teaching museum. Free membership allows members of the community near and far to stay informed and engaged. Throughout its history, our success has been the result of dedicated individuals whose engagement has inspired them to contribute to the museum’s immediate needs, invest in its endowment, and build its collection.
