Membership | October 2025

General membership is trending ahead on revenue with $237,000 in fiscal year to date. Our renewals remain strong and last month we launched our rejoin campaign where we invited several thousand dropped members to renew their membership through a series of mailings and emails. Members who renewed their membership were invited to a special lecture on Gustauve Baumann, a one-time 20% shops coupon for a Bauman print and an invitation to our Member Preview for Gustave Baumann: The Artist’s Environment at the New Mexico Museum of Art.

In October we are hosting a hands-on members-only event at the Palace Press with curator Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder, who will share the replica of Gustave Baumann's studio which features his watermarked papers, hand tools and pigments used to make his color-saturated woodcut scenes of New Mexico and the Southwest. Afterwards, members will enjoy a press demonstration and the opportunity to make a Baumann-themed print to take home.

Also, in October we will launch our fall Step Up campaign where members will be invited to increase their membership support and receive added benefits related to the exhibition Gustauve Baumann: The Artists Environment at the New Mexico Museum of Art.
