Friends and Patrons of IAIA

​

‘Friends and Patrons of IAIA’ is a dynamic multilateral group of art enthusiasts who share the language of art and its passion across a variety of sectors. Members will gain access to year-round, dynamic programs and events including exhibition openings, dinners, studio visits, and supporter-only events, both in the United States and across the globe. IAIA will be organizing individual walk-throughs of fairs, special exhibition viewings, visits to private collections, and dinners with IAIA’s Founding Director Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Al-Thani.

Funds from our friends and patrons will directly support our exhibitions and programming, empowering IAIA to achieve its distinctive curatorial vision. Your memberships and contributions will play a significant role in the IAIA’s ability to provide a convivial, welcoming environment for the international community to learn about and engage with the Arab and Islamic art and culture. We will be honored if you would accept our invitation and become a Friend and Patron of IAIA, and look forward to welcoming with you in our dynamic events.
