San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts

Collectors Society

The Museum extends an invitation to our membership to join the Collectors Society, an organization made up of people who enjoy gathering several times each year to learn about art and collecting in an entertaining environment.

Meetings and lectures are usually held at the Museum and afterwards members of the Collectors Society join the invited speaker for an enjoyable meal in fine area restaurants and in the homes of our gracious members. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet and converse with our distinguished guests on a more informal basis.

Dues for membership in the Collectors Society are $100 per person, per year. These dues assist the Museum in purchasing works of art for its permanent collection. There is a fee for the cost of each meal, as well as a $10 program fee that helps defray the speaker's honorarium. The season runs from September to May each year making fall the best time to join. Call the Museum for more info at (325) 653-3333.
