Friends of Greek and Roman Art: Philodoroi

The Friends of Greek and Roman Art: Philodoroi is designed to bring collectors, devotees, and others who are passionate about classical and ancient art into closer contact with the collection and curators of the Department of Greek and Roman Art. This exclusive group, which meets about four times a year, is essential to the development and well-being of the Department. Annual dues support the Museum and the Department, funding a wide range of projects, including acquisitions, lectures, conservation, and special book purchases for The Onassis Library for Hellenic and Roman Art, as well as a number of other scholarly endeavors. Philodoroi are invited to behind-the-scenes events led by the Department's staff on a variety of topics related to the collection and exhibitions.

Annual Dues: $10,000 (a portion of dues is tax-deductible)
Under–Forty Annual Dues: $5,000 (a portion of dues is tax-deductible)
