Collectors Society
Each year the Museum's Collectors Society sponsors a Lecture Series that is both stimulating and informative. Our guest speakers, experts in areas that are relevant to our exhibits and the greater community, come to San Angelo and make a public presentation followed by a brief question and answer session. Lectures are free and open to the public, and light refreshments are provided.
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. Everyone is welcome to join the Collectors Society and help the Museum's collection grow.
