Membership

Your membership at any level helps us develop exhibitions and programs that challenge, inspire, and provide meaningful creative opportunities for all. Your support at this time also allows us to best prepare your Buffalo AKG Art Museum, opening in the first half of 2023.

Join, renew, or upgrade as a Buffalo AKG member for two years at the current annual rate before membership prices increase in January 2023, when we announce our refreshed membership program. We look forward to bringing you an expanded membership experience when we open!

We thank you for your ongoing support. For questions, please see our Member FAQs or contact membership@buffaloakg.org or 716.270.8247.
