Yes, a Regular Membership allows entry for two adults, one of whom must be a Member. This is the case for free exhibition entrance and admittance to Member events such as exhibition previews and lectures, unless otherwise noted. A Family membership and above enables you to also bring any children in your household under the age of 18, and higher levels of membership allow for additional exhibition entries. Keep in mind, at least one Member must be present to receive any complimentary tickets, discounts, or event entry.

The number of free exhibition tickets depends on your level of membership.

Keep in mind that featured exhibitions ofren have timed tickets. Tickets can be ordered in advance; same-day tickets, when available, are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Membership cards are not transferable. Cards may only be used by the person(s) listed on the card.

We strive to mail out all permanent Membership cards within 7--10 business days, but due to high volume, it can sometimes take up to 4 weeks. If you plan to visit the Museum before you have received your cards, stop by the Museum's Information Desk, and you will be issued a temporary card.

The Museum will reissue you one new set of membership cards at no charge. Call the Membership Office at 314.655.5335 or email members@slam.org. If you plan to visit the Museum before your new set of cards arrives, simply stop by the Information Desk with a photo ID to receive a temporary card.

Regular and Family Level memberships are fully tax deductible. Memberships at the Family & Friends level and above are deductible minus the fair-market value of certain benefits received. Members at those levels may elect to decline benefits with a cash value if they wish to deduct the entire donation. When you become a Member, you will receive an acknowledgment that states the tax deductibility of your membership donation. For more specific information, please call 314.655.5335.

Many companies will match your contribution to the Saint Louis Art Museum. With your employer’s help, you can double the impact of your support and, in some cases, upgrade to a higher level of membership. Contact your Human Resources department to determine if you are eligible and to obtain a matching gift form or instructions on submitting an online request. View a partial list of companies who currently match employee gifts to the Museum.

No, you may upgrade your membership at any time during the year. When you upgrade, you will immediately begin to receive the benefits associated with the higher level.
