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 at the Sponsor level or higher who are in the 45-and-younger age range. 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 exhibition preview per year (based on exhibition calendar). 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.
