Affinity and Affiliate Groups

Affinity and affiliate groups offer our members opportunities for deeper engagement with the museum’s collection through special tours and lectures with curators at the CMA, as well as unique opportunities to visit local venues such as private collections and artist studios. Each group has a distinct identity with programs designed especially for its members. Within these groups, you receive exclusive access to curators, artists, and exceptional programs.

All members of the Cleveland Museum of Art can join affinity or affiliate groups to tailor their membership experience to fit their unique interests. One can join by paying dues to the group of their choice, or those at the Associate level ($250) or above can join at least one affinity group with complimentary dues.
