The Collectors Circle is a group of museum and art enthusiasts who want to be more involved in collecting, both as private citizens and as part of the museum. Anyone is able to join for a fee of $500 plus membership dues. Members under 40 can join for $250. The funds from the Collectors Circle is dedicated for intentional acquisitions for the museum collection. The Alexandria Museum of Art does not dedicate any other funds to adding to the collection. We rely on gifts and donations to add to our permanent collection. The Collectors Circle is the only way to add to the collection in a meaningful and strategic way. As a member of the Circle, your voice will be heard when it comes time to purchase new works of art to be added to AMoA's collection. In addition to helping the museum further its collecting goals, Collectors Circle members get access to exclusive programming, including: collecting focused presentations from museum staff and visiting scholars, artist studio visits, behind the scenes tours, and special presentations and planned trips to artistically rich areas featuring unique art experiences.
