The Worcester Art Museum simultaneously transfers me to different worlds while grounding me in a place that feels like home.

Our WAM membership has given us the opportunity to share the joy and history that art offers with our son. As Salisbury Society members, we’ve appreciated the deeper connection we get through events, access to curators and socializing with like-minded art lovers.

When our children were little, the Museum was always a place we could take them that would engage them and create great family memories. Now that our children are grown, we want to make sure that the Museum is there for our grandchildren and for other families to enjoy. Especially now that the Museum is the caretaker of the Higgins collection and opening the new Arms and Armor Galleries in November. It is so important that the Museum be supported as it continues to create memories and learning opportunities for families.
