This is especially important for private collection and artists' studio visits, events that are often limited to a certain number of Junior Associates.
  • With regards to events where we must limit the number of attendees, please keep in mind that this is due to the size of the space and/or the wishes of the host, which must be respected. Also remember that non-members absolutely CANNOT be accommodated in these instances, as they would be taking the place of your fellow Junior Associates.

  • You are ALWAYS invited with a guest to Museum opening receptions.
