Institutional Memberships
Institutional Memberships offered by the Worcester Art Museum to students, staff, and faculty of the universities and colleges in the Commonwealth have undergone some major changes. We are offering some wonderful new benefits that we want your entire institution to be aware of and utilize in the upcoming year.
As part of your Institutional Membership, we will be happy to supply you with a Worcester Art Museum handbook and brochures for display. You will also receive mailings, which detail all of our exhibitions and events. It would also be our pleasure to send you a sign announcing your participation in the program.
| Membership Fees | |
|---|---|
| less than 1,000 students/faculty/staff | $1,000 |
| 1,000 or more | $2,000 |
