Collectors Circle
Become a Collectors Circle donor and join other individuals with a special interest in collecting and learning about contemporary art.
As a Collector, you'll receive first-hand access to the Museum's exhibitions, and contemporary art in private collections, galleries, and museums. From behind-the-scenes tours with curators to exclusive travel opportunities, you can enjoy special benefits while directly supporting the acquisition of works for MCASD's collection and the Museum's operations fund. Also attend lively discussions, scholarly panels, and special events in the company of distinguished art historians, curators, collectors, and dealers.
