Since 1879, support from businesses has allowed the Art Institute to maintain and expand our permanent holdings. Leaders of community who understand the intrinsic value of encyclopedic museums—those with collections representative of the world’s diverse artistic legacy—know that the arts serve as a force for education and the buiding of civil society. By becoming a member of our family of corporate supporters, your company will allow the museum to fulfill its mission to collect, conserve, research, exhibit, and interpret an internationally significant permanent collection, as well as present powerful special exhibitions, educational programs, and performances. This is our duty, to enrich the lives of Chicagoans with the art, culture, and history of the world.
