Access
When Larry Aldrich opened The Aldrich in 1964—one of the country’s first museums devoted exclusively to the exhibition of contemporary art—his vision was to create an intimate space to connect audiences to artists. Today, in its beautiful new galleries, The Aldrich remains committed to connecting you to contemporary art and artists. Membership offers increased access to:- World Class Artwork: See artwork of emerging and mid-career artists.
The Aldrich helps identify and showcase talent early in artists'
careers.
- Exhibiting Artists: Meet the artists in casual gallery walkthroughs,
exhibition receptions, or formal education forums. The Aldrich
connects you to the artists directly.
- Unique Programming: Discover the world of contemporary art.
Nationally-recognized programs for individuals, families or children
will stimulate your mind and provide hands-on experience.
- Museum Staff: Learn about art and get assistance on careers in art.
The Aldrich focuses on cultivating understanding of contemporary art
and provides advice on career development in the arts.
- All this in an award-winning architectural space, including twelve galleries, a screening room, a sound gallery, a 22-foot-high project space, a 100-seat performance area, a state-of-the art Education Center, and Museum store, plus the two-acre Cornish Family Sculpture Garden.
