The Director’s Circle is a network of collectors and philanthropists who share a passion for Public Art Fund’s mission, providing vital support for our work through their annual dues. Members of the Director’s Circle receive behind-the-scenes access to our exhibitions and participate in meaningful exchanges about art and culture with Public Art Fund curators and artists through exclusive studio visits, private collections tours, and other special events. Director’s Circle+ members experience more unique opportunities to engage with art and artists.

The Artists’ Champion Circle is a tier of Director’s Circle membership made up of civically minded art enthusiasts who are under 40 years old and support our mission to bring dynamic contemporary art to a broad audience for free. Members have the unique opportunity to engage with Public Art Fund artists, often before their work is known to a broader audience, have exclusive access to Public Art Fund’s curatorial team, and other unique opportunities.
