Teacher Membership Incentive Program

We’re launching a program to recognize and reward teachers who bring their classes to the Gallery. Here’s how it works:

  • Teachers who bring their elementary or high school classes for an Interpreter-led program, like a guided tour, discovery tour, or workshop, will receive a free individual membership. Unguided visits do not qualify.

  • One free membership will be issued per class. If a reservation requires two Interpreters due to group size, you qualify for two free memberships.

  • Visits must take place between September 2025 and April 2026 to qualify.

  • Following your visit, the Gallery will contact you with details about how to redeem your free membership.

We are committed to making your visit as enriching and enjoyable as possible. With these new initiatives, we hope to see even more students exploring and learning at the Gallery.

To register your class for an on-site program, please fill out the online reservation form.
