Join the Modernist Society and enjoy insider access to the museum’s renowned collections and exhibitions. The Modernist Society brings together individuals who share an appreciation for modern art and a personal commitment to the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art’s mission of designing outreach programs that benefit the quality of life for citizens typically underserved by the visual arts sector. Your contribution as a Modernist Society Member supports the museum’s presentation of exhibitions, public programs and community outreach initiatives.

Chaired by Mary Margaret and Fritz Porter, Modernist Society members receive a membership to the museum as a benefit of their gift, in addition to many opportunities for deeper engagement with art, artists, touring exhibitions, and the Bechtler collection through a diverse schedule of events and programming. For questions about joining the Modernist Society, please email Mat Duncan, Assistant Director for Individual Giving at mat.duncan@bechtler.org or call 704.353.9202.
