The Associates of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are its true partners in every sense. Dedicated individuals whose close relationship and commitment fuel this great Museum, the Associates are key to our mission to connect more people with art. The benefits of Associates membership are designed specifically for individuals who believe in the power of art and culture to educate, transform, and inspire! Since 1969, the Associates Program has brought together individual supporters with a shared interest in the arts and a personal commitment to strengthening Philadelphia’s cultural resources. Annual gifts from the Associates provide unrestricted support for the Museum’s general operations, including educational programs, research, and conservation.

In appreciation for their generosity, Associates are offered an extensive annual schedule of programs and events that provide a truly multi-dimensional experience of the Museum and foster meaningful relationships with curatorial staff and other art enthusiasts. Foremost among Associates membership benefits are travel opportunities that include day-trip excursions to enjoy special exhibitions and private collections, and diverse national and international curator-led trips with rich itineraries. Associates also enjoy exclusive breakfast previews of the Museum’s special exhibitions, a fascinating roster of lectures by visiting scholars and curators, and the enormously popular Associates Family Day programs. The Museum relies heavily on—and is profoundly grateful for—Associate support. We hope you will choose to join this key part of the Museum family.
