Jefferson Patterson Society Memberships
The Jefferson Patterson Society supports the museum and its programs through the financial commitment and personal involvement of Society members.
Members make an annual gift of $1,500 to $10,000 while receiving a variety of benefits and exclusive privileges. Members serve as advocates for the museum in its mission to serve the community by creating meaningful art experiences that are available to all.
Jefferson Patterson Society contributions are the lifeblood of the museum, enabling it to continue providing outstanding educational programs serving more than 50,000 students annually; presenting world-class special exhibitions; caring for more than 28,000 works in the museum’s nationally recognized collection; and enhancing the quality of life in Dayton and the Miami Valley.
By becoming a member of the Jefferson Patterson Society, you will join other prominent and dedicated community members to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of the Dayton Art Institute and its programs. Most importantly, your gift will ensure the continued strength and sustainability of our museum and programs.
