Affiliate groups are a great way for members of The Cleveland Museum of Art to make new friends and enjoy even more art adventures throughout our region.

We appreciate the support of museum members and donors in establishing endowments to support specific projects at the museum. We celebrated their generosity during an April 2012 reception in which the donors shared why their support of the museum was so important to their philanthropic activities.

Saundra Stemen fell in love with The Cleveland Museum of Art almost at first sight. She happened upon the museum while in town visiting Case Western Reserve University in 1970. She remembers the visit because it was the first time she saw one of her favorites in the collection Picasso’s La Vie for the first time.

Don’t miss our Members Appreciation Weekend on Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4.

John Bonebrake was a beloved member of the museum’s affiliate group, The Print Club of Cleveland for 40 years. Through his Print Club experience, he had amassed more than 1,000 prints, which he both gifted and bequeathed to the museum upon his death in April 2011.
