Become a Friend of the Goldstein

Supporting our mission since 1978

When you become a member, you become a Friend! Since its founding the museum has enjoyed a healthy level of community support. The richness and depth of the collections are due largely to the generosity of donors. Organized in 1978, The Friends of the Goldstein contribute financial support, encourage volunteerism, and raise the museum's public visibility. Since its inception, the Friends have helped shape the collections, and organized forums for their public display and interpretation. Vital expertise has been added by volunteers' knowledge in the fashion and design fields. Financial donations from alumni and Friends contribute substantially to the museum's operations.  Becoming a member is the key to enjoying the museum from the inside and helps to ensure the vitality of this unique, regional treasure.

As a member you will receive invitations to exhibition openings, the bi-annual newsletter, as well as invitations to special events. Help support the only museum in the Upper Midwest devoted solely to design, focusing on costume, decorative art, graphic design and textiles!
