Wrightsman Fellows
This group of collectors and connoisseurs is named in honor of Jayne Wrightsman, whose taste, vision, and generosity has indelibly shaped the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. The Wrightsman Fellows participate in two exclusive events each season: a conversation with a leading figure in the field—such as a great collector, scholar, or artist—followed by a dinner in the galleries; and a spring visit to a New York private collection. They are also invited to the events and programs of the Friends of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts.
By invitation only.
