I love being a part of the team that is the Krannert Art Museum staff. It is amazing to see all that goes on “behind the scenes” to create the thought provoking temporary exhibitions, the installations of works throughout the museum from the permanent collection, and the intense research, planning, coordination, and programming that goes into making KAM what it is.
That said, I would be remiss if I did not mention another very important part of the KAM team…our members, the Friends of Krannert Art Museum. These are people who make yearly contributions ranging from $15 for a student membership to $1000’s for a Director’s Circle membership (with lots of steps in between) to support KAM and its mission. Due in large part to their support, anyone, EVERYONE, can explore, engage, and experience all that KAM has to offer. Krannert Art Museum is always free and open to all! This is true, in large part, due to the generous support from our members. If you aren’t already, please become one!
Thank you Friends!
