Form Lifelong Learners and Lovers of Art
Since its founding in 1896, the Worcester Art Museum has been an institution of learning. The Museum prides itself on its connections with the educational community in Worcester and Central Massachusetts, from elementary schools to colleges and universities
WAM’s Institutional Membership program enables current students, faculty, and staff of partner institutions to visit the Museum free of charge when they present a valid student, faculty, or staff ID at any WAM ticketing desk. The Institutional Membership program allows access to the Museum during all regular visiting hours and includes most exhibition and program offerings. Among the other major benefits for Institutional Members are discounted entry tickets to our annual Flora in Winter exhibition. In addition, many Institutional Members schedule tours, utilize our galleries and collection for classes and courses, and even partner with the Museum on special exhibitions and events.
Participating Institutional Members enjoy the following benefits:
- Free General Admission to WAM galleries for students, faculty, and staff, including Spotlight Series talks (excludes special events)
- Free docent-led tours for all students, faculty, and staff
- Access to the Museum’s Education and Experience Department who will work with your teachers and faculty to create the best educational experience to fit your curricular and/or extracurricular needs
- 10% discount on classes
- Up to 20% discount on facility rentals for institutional events
