Be part of it! By becoming a member of the Friends you are supporting the Gallery and enjoying exclusive benefits!
A community of art lovers
Your membership helps the Gallery to acquire new artworks to enrich the national collection, as well as supporting the exhibitions programme. In 2021, the Friends will support the exhibition Christ & His Cousin: Renaissance Rediscoveries, and a book to accompany the exhibition Jack B. Yeats: Painting & Memory.
