The Circles

The Circles members demonstrate leadership in our arts community by providing the cornerstone of annual funding for vital services and support on behalf of our museum system. Membership in The Circles brings many benefits, including special discounts and invitations to an exclusive calendar of events that provide access to New Mexico artists, art collectors and scholars, as well as cultural travel opportunities and private tours with museum directors.
