Sustaining Fellows are invited to exclusive programs every year giving them intimate access to the permanent collection and personal contact with curators.

Exhibition Previews and Private Viewings
Sustaining Fellows are the first to view some of the museum's most dramatic and acclaimed exhibitions. Curator lectures offer guests insights, and private viewings provide the opportunity to see art without the crowds.

Curator Breakfasts and Lunches
These lecture programs highlight a current exhibition, part of the collection, or special project and include a gallery walk led by a curator.

Art Walks
Private viewings of personal and corporate art collections.

Access to Artists
The annual A. James Speyer memorial lecture features a distinguished artist whose work is represented in the museum's collection. The 2008 Speyer lecture features Robert Ryman. Past artists have included George Segall, James Rosenquist, Ed Paschke, Helen Frakenthaler, Duane Hanson, Chuck Close, Vija Celmins, David Hockney, Anish Kapoor, and Kiki Smith.
