Patron Groups
The Design Council
|
 Group List |
If you have an interest in modern and contemporary design, architecture, and craft, then Design Council is the right patron group for you. Founded in 1998 as part of the MFAH department of decorative arts, the Design Council focuses on the defining role that art objects and design play in daily life. This dynamic group meets bimonthly, from September to May, for lectures, visits to private collections, and behind-the-scenes tours of exhibitions. The Design Council also supports the museum’s growing collection of decorative arts and design. The membership year culminates with excitement as the curatorial staff presents a selection of objects to Design Council members, who vote on which ones to acquire using their membership dues.
Annual Dues: $150
Participation in the Design Council requires MFAH membership.
