The Andy Warhol Museum’s lobby space is illuminated with bright green party lights as a crowd of patrons mingle. The image was taken using a long exposure making all of the moving people in the scene appear blurry as the architecture of the room appears clear.

Portrait Society members help support the museum’s contemporary exhibition program, education initiatives, and general operating fund. The group gains behind-the-scenes access to noteworthy exhibitions, art fairs, events, and openings The Warhol hosts each year.

In keeping with Andrew Carnegie’s ambition to provide intellectual and cultural access to the arts and sciences regardless of social status, The Warhol serves more than 12,000 youth through collaborative outreach and in-museum education programs and engages more than 30,000 total participants in its education programs annually. We need your support to help The Warhol continue this legacy through its community outreach and engagement.

The Portrait Society is open to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh Patron-level members for an additional $1,500 annually for two people.
