BAM/PFA Friends’ Circle Memberships are designed to deepen the art experience in the company of fellow art and film lovers. You can join one of three groups at the $1,000 level—Explorers, DMAX, or Cineastes. Can’t pick just one group? Then join all three with support between $1,500 and $2,499.

Collectors’ Circle: $2,500–$4,999 (all but $150 of your gift is tax-deductible)
This is a unique opportunity. Working closely with BAM/PFA Director Lawrence Rinder and Chief Curator Lucinda Barnes, Collectors help to shape the BAM/PFA collection by selecting art to be purchased using a portion of the museum’s acquisitions budget. If you’re a Collectors’ Circle member, you are energized by looking at art and enjoy talking with artists about their work. During three curator-led meetings, which include studio visits, you’ll make careful study of three Bay Area artists, culminating in a vote to decide which of their works to purchase for the collection. Enrich your knowledge of art and art collecting . . . become a Collector.
