FROM THE UI CENTER FOR ADVANCEMENT

See Yourself as a Stanley Member

The University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art has offered free admission since opening its doors in 1969. This summer, we’re reaffirming our commitment to community accessibility by also making it free to join our membership program. We want everyone to see themselves at the Stanley!

We recognize the barriers that have long existed in traditional museum membership models, and we believe dues shouldn’t stand in the way of transformational art experiences. By making membership free for all, we’re reflecting our mission of remaining an inclusive and welcoming resource for discovery, inquiry, collaboration, and creativity.

When you become a Stanley Museum of Art member, you join a community with a shared passion for art and engagement. As a member, you’ll enjoy:

• A subscription to our Stanley Museum e-newsletter • Advance notice of museum programs, exhibitions, and events • Lifetime membership

Join today by visiting stanleymuseum.uiowa.edu!

If you’re already a member, you will continue to be one and don’t need to sign up again. The UI Stanley Museum of Art is here for everyone. So welcome—or welcome back!

Your generous private support still is crucial. It allows us to offer world-class exhibitions and programs; hire, train, and pay the next generation of museum leaders; and maintain our beautiful new building.

You can make a gift online when you sign up as a member, or you can support the Stanley Museum of Art by donating through the mailings you receive from us. This fall we’re launching a new Friends Recognition Program that will allow us to celebrate annual supporters’ gifts in Stanley programs, exhibitions, educational programs, and more!

We rely on your support each year. Sharing your annual and long-term philanthropic plans helps you—and us— prepare for the future.

The University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art is just a year away from reopening! While our staff spends the next 12 months packing and installing the collection—and planning wonderful and engaging programs—I will be out meeting with supporters like you.

Philanthropy plays a key role at the Stanley Museum of Art, and I hope to be a resource for you as you make your own philanthropic decisions. When I talk with our generous patrons, we discuss how art has shaped their lives—and how they can make an impact through financial gifts.

In previous issues, I’ve written about how some of these art lovers have partnered with the museum. Many have made gifts to the My Museum building campaign or have created endowed funds to support specific initiatives in perpetuity. Others have told us about their plans to provide for the museum through estate gifts. All of these charitable contributions make a difference!

We rely on your support each year. Sharing your annual and long-term philanthropic plans helps you—and us—prepare for the future. It also ensures that we use your gifts in the way you intended.

What could a partnership with the Stanley Museum of Art look like for you? Let’s get together and find out!
