The Patrons membership provides critical, unrestricted funding for the daily operations and artistic and educational initiatives of the Yale University Art Gallery. Unique events throughout the year bring together this group of collectors, art enthusiasts, and those who enjoy lifelong learning. Patrons participate in visits to artists’ studios and private collections and take national and international trips. They receive invitations to lectures, receptions, and the Gallery’s Art & Learning at Yale, a weekend program in New Haven featuring curatorial seminars and behind-the-scenes tours.

Complimentary copies of all Gallery publications are given to Patrons. The Gallery recognizes Patrons’ support in its annual Bulletin and on its donor wall.
