Leadership Circle

With an Annual Fund gift of $2,500 or more, you join the Leadership Circle—the Museum's premier giving society and a driving force behind everything we do. Leadership Circle donations make an extraordinary impact, fueling world-class exhibitions, innovative educational programs, and meaningful local outreach initiatives. As a Leadership Circle member you receive exclusive benefits, including invitations to private exhibition viewings, complimentary catalogues, unlimited guest admission, and complimentary parking—all while making a vital difference in the cultural life of Houston.

Leadership Circle membership lasts a full year beginning on the date you join, with the majority of programming occurring from September through June. You may designate your Leadership Circle gift to any of the four MFAH Annual Fund Drives—supporting the Museum, the Glassell School of Art, Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, or Rienzi—allowing you to deepen your impact where it matters most to you. Your cumulative Annual Fund giving determines your Leadership Circle membership level.

 

Through a dynamic calendar of special programs—including private exhibition viewings with receptions or seated dinners, behind-the-scenes access, and exclusive travel opportunities—Leadership Circle members deepen their connection to the visual arts while engaging with a vibrant community of fellow patrons.
