be a member of the inner circle

		The PAAM Circle is your personal connection to the lead museum of America’s oldest continuous art colony. THE PAAM CIRCLE provides access to artists, exhibition curators and scholars; offers exclusive social events with artists, collectors, trustees, business people and community leaders; is an association of the Museum’s most generous annual donors whose gifts represent the Museum’s largest source of unrestricted funding.
Established in 2006, the PAAM Circle is a dynamic philanthropic community whose annual contributions help to keep PAAM’s doors open to over 40,000 annual visitors. PAAM Circle members demonstrate to corporations, foundations and government agencies how our members and friends feel about the vital programs PAAM provides to the community — strongly enough to make a significant gift each year.
