BMA Friends Groups

As the BMA looks ahead, we are working to thoughtfully assess and reimagine the structure of BMA Friends Groups and we would love your input. We want to know what you most value as a Friends group member and what you would most like to see from the Museum going forward.

Please take a moment to fill out our feedback form or reach out to us via email at membership@artbma.org.

Additionally, if you would like to be informed when we launch the re-envisioned program, please email us, and ask to be added to the contact list.

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Baltimore Museum of Art and specifically our Friends Groups. Your commitment plays an invaluable role in the vibrancy of the Museum and our wider shared arts community in Baltimore.
