Benefits of Membership

The Patrons Circle includes the museum's most magnanimous individual donors who provide significant annual support for El Museo del Barrio. Their contributions support the free public and family programs serving El Barrio's community, education programs serving public schools all over New York City, and el Museo's internationally-recognized and critically praised exhibitions.

Patron's Circle members enjoy El Museo's most exclusive and intimate functions. Our Patrons have visited the studios of Andres Serrano, Vik Muniz, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude; taken private tours of the Hearst Collection and the homes and private collections of Peter and Gwen Norton and Agnes Gund; and enjoyed private international 'curated' excursions and special guided tours of select exhibitions at other museums in New York.

For information about joining El Museo's Patrons Circle, please contact Cheryl B. Mantia, Individual Giving Manager, at (212) 660-7143 or cmantia@elmuseo.org.
