Hello, members! We’re so glad you’re here.
Your generosity plays a vital role in helping care for the Frist Art Museum and bringing world-class art exhibitions and educational programs to our community. Thank you for your continued support.
There is so much to look forward. Here’s what we have lined up:
Membership Events
Member Moment:
Venice and the Ottoman Empire
Member Morning:
Venice and the Ottoman Empire, Ellen Altfest, and Fabric of a Nation
Members-only previews and events!
Member Preview Events
See new exhibitions with special members-only hours the day before exhibitions open to the public. These exhibitions will remain open late for members attending Thursday-night Member Preview events such as Curators’ Perspectives or performances to ensure you have time to explore new exhibitions after hours.
Member Mornings
Quarterly on select Sunday mornings, the museum will open two hours early exclusively for members. Enjoy docent-guided tours, and unique and delicious bites and beverages from Café Cheeserie.
Upcoming Member Morning dates: August 17, November 16
Member Moments
Throughout the year, we’ve reserved time for you to see exhibitions and enjoy our galleries without the crowds.
During Member Moments, the first thirty minutes of the day in one gallery will be reserved exclusively for members. It’s a great time to view the featured exhibition at your own pace or enjoying a docent-guided tour.
Upcoming Member Moment dates: July 12, October 11, November 29
