Join the Wonderful World of Wagner!

One of the best ways you can help the Institute is to become a Friend. It’s also the best way to stay informed about what’s going on at the Wagner. All Friends receive benefits such as free course certificates, a 10% discount at our gift shop, and free tickets to our annual Member Reception. They also get a special price on tickets to A Sip of Science, our annual benefit party and discounts on special after-hours programs including our popular Evening with an Expert and Sip and Sketch series.

Members at the $100 and above levels also receive reciprocal membership at more than 1,300 museums across the continent through the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Association.
