Benefits of Circles Membership
Join a dynamic group of members who recognize NMWA’s vital role in shining a light on women artists of the past, present, and future by making a generous annual gift in support of museum operations. You will receive exclusive recognition and connect with acclaimed and emerging artists, while directly benefiting the museum’s growth and reach—keeping the museum strong as we continue to offer programming and plan for dynamic new exhibitions.
Your support as a Circles member makes a special impact right now. Our two-year closure and major building renovation project, which are vitally important to our future, will result in significant cuts to our earned income from admissions, events, and other sources.
