One of the most important ways to support and participate is through Museum Membership. Members receive special discounts and advance notice for events and activities including preview receptions, classes, trips, lectures and family events. Annual dues from members of the Museum provide critical financial support for Museum operations, exhibitions and programs and help the Museum purchase art for its permanent collection. The Museum Members and Volunteers present one major fundraiser annually, the Acadiana Wine and Food Festival. Contributing Level Memberships help sponsor the festival and Contributing Level Members received additional benefits related to the annual Festival.
