 BAM offers a unique opportunity to support the Museum’s Permanent Collection while gaining insight into the visual arts with like-minded individuals. Members learn about the ever-changing world of art, meet new friends, and have the opportunity to travel on an annual art trip accompanied by BAM’s Executive Director.
BAM members at the Contributing level ($250) and above are eligible to join Collectors Forum (CF). Annual CF dues are $450 for individuals and $750 for couples. Dues directly support the purchase of art for BAM’s Permanent Collection and CF programs. Members gather for four one-of-a-kind events each year, from artist lectures to exhibition previews. CF also hosts an annual holiday party and spring reception when CF members meet to discuss, select and celebrate a new art acquisition for the BAM Permanent Collection.
If you are interested in joining in the fun and helping the Museum to grow its remarkable collection, please contact BAM’s Membership Coordinator, Annemarie Garcia, at 208-345-8330 extension 15. For detailed Collectors Forum guidelines, CLICK HERE >>
