FRALIN MEMBERSHIP – NOW BETTER THAN EVER!

In collaboration with long-standing museum supporters and community members, we updated our membership program to better reflect our values and meet the needs of our audiences.  

The pandemic gave us a unique opportunity to reexamine our membership program and make it better suited to the needs of our members and greater community. Over the past two years, we have designed a more streamlined program that now reflects The Fralin’s mission, vision, and values, in addition to addressing the results of our 5-year strategic plan. The reimagined program also provides a range of compelling benefits to members at all levels. Most importantly, the new membership program will generate key philanthropic support that will help sustain the museum’s operations and programming for years to come.
