WE WANT YOU AS OUR FRIEND!
The Friends is a voluntary auxiliary of the Museum whose primary role it is to develop and sponsor outstanding fund-raising events in support of the museum. Friends also provides art-related programs for its members and offers a wonderful opportunity to meet new people while engaging in our very rewarding efforts.
Friends is about to launch its new program year. We have a newly elected Board filled with energy and enthusiasm. We are actively seeking new members.
We welcome new talent, a fresh outlook, new ideas, a different perspective. Won't you bring your talents and join us; we have much to offer. You'll meet some wonderful people, become involved in the life of the Museum, and have the satisfaction of making a real contribution to the growth and future success of the Museum. In addition, Friends offers its members free programs and discounts to museum events.
To become a member of Friends, you must first be a member of the Museum. The Friends membership fee of $25 for individuals, $35 for dual per year is separate and additional to museum membership. Friends' dues are payable at the same time as museum membership dues.
If you would like more information about Friends, have any questions, or would like to become involved, call 508-362-0119.
LEAVE YOUR “FOOTPRINT” ON CAPE COD!
Footprints in the sand are washed away with each incoming tide but an inscribed brick is a permanent “footprint.” Cape Cod Museum of Art is offering personally inscribed bricks to be placed in the walkway at the entrance to the museum.
The bricks sell for $125 each.
What a wonderful opportunity to honor a special loved one, family, or even yourself!
You can leave your “footprint” on the Cape and at the same time show appreciation for the arts and support Cape Cod Museum of Art.
To reserve your space, you can use the order form online, print it out and hand it in at the front desk of the museum, mail it in, or call Sonia Osborne at 508-362-7991.
