Young Patrons
Art learners and art lovers. Museum groupies. Movers and shakers who want to make a difference in the community. These are the Young Patrons of the Portland Art Museum; a group of Museum members who wish to become more involved and meet like-minded arts patrons. Young Patrons receive star treatment at the Museum, including invitations to exclusive curatorial, educational, and social events throughout the year, and an invitation to one Patron Society event per year. Young Patrons may choose to take on a leadership role by joining the society’s Executive Committee, which is responsible for planning events, including a fundraiser, and making decisions on the direction of the group.
Membership in the Young Patrons is just $100 in addition to the cost of your current Museum membership.
