Dear Friend,
We invite you to take part in the distinguished intellectual life of the Institute of Fine Arts by joining our unique donor recognition program, the Connoisseurs Circle. Through this program, individuals with a passion for art can explore centuries of visual culture with the Institute’s unparalleled faculty, alumni, and other experts. Members enjoy a stimulating array of exclusive events exploring the many facets of New York’s art world. Highlights of the fall 2009 semester include Philippe de Montebello’s The Meaning of Museums and a visit to the studio of renowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang.
Most importantly, the Connoisseurs Circle plays a valued role in supporting fellowships for the Institute’s diserving students. A contribution of $5,000 or more enables you to join the Connoisseurs Circle and enjoy the benefits of membership.
We welcome you and hope to see you often.
