The Aldrich Council $3,500 (fully tax-deductible)

A crucial component of the health and vitality of The Aldrich is a growing and diverse pool of individuals who contribute their time, their expertise, and their financial resources. To build this base of supporters, the Museum initiated The Aldrich Council in 2019, an invitation-only group united by a shared passion for contemporary art and a deep commitment to the Museum’s mission. Members are selected for their strategic vision, professional insight, and ability to help advance the Museum’s goals, expand its network of supporters, and ensure its long-term sustainability. Council members enjoy exclusive access to special events including artist studio visits, tours of private collections, and curator- and artist-led previews of new exhibitions.

The Aldrich Council serves the Museum in a crucial leadership capacity, offering insight and creativity to build a vibrant institution that delights and engages a broad range of visitors.

Membership in The Aldrich Council is by invitation only. If you are interested in learning more, contact Kris Honeycutt, Director of Development, at 203.403.7364, or khoneycutt@thealdrich.org
