Development Department:How Membership Makes the Difference

Why Membership?

We at the Brooks love our visitors. The more people experiencing our collections and activities, the better. We are extremely excited about everything we offer, from art to events, and nothing brings us more joy than to have the community participate in each activity. Visiting the Brooks introduces you to the world of art and gives you a glimpse of all that is going on. One only has to look at our packed Calendar of Events to see that we have something for everyone.

But as much as we love our visitors, there is something extra special about being a member at the Brooks. For instance, being a member gives you exclusive access, dining and shopping discounts, connects you to a deeper level, and makes you part of it all. Here are just a few of these perks we keep talking about:

• Exclusive “Members-only” receptions every time we open a new exhibition

As a member, you get to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, surround yourself with fellow art-lovers and experience the collection before it becomes available to the public (as a side note, our next “Members-only” reception is on February 19 – hope you can join us!).

• Members-only parties

The most popular being our Avant-Garde party in August, which always correlates with the summer exhibition. We are thrilled to have Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present on view during the summer, promising to make this year’s Avant-Garde party the best yet!

• Discounts on films and Thursday night events

Members get discounted admission to the variety of films we are continually showing, which are guaranteed to be thought-provoking, humorous, moving, and informative.

• Discounts in museum store and in the Brushmark restaurant

And who doesn’t love to shop and eat?

So come on over and share with us all that the Brooks has to offer!
