Atlanta Patron Weekend
MTA gathers board members and museum senior staff for a day of panels, presentations, Q&A, and peer-to-peer networking focused on current topics essential to museums today.
MTA Patrons will participate in a thoughtfully selected program of museum and private collection visits - only MTA Patrons will experience exclusive elements of the art world that are not accessible to the average visitor.
These private events provide ample opportunity for board members from across the Americas to network with their peers and to build long lasting relationships with like-minded MTA Patrons.
Registration is al la carte but attending every event is strongly encouraged for the most robust experience. Programming concludes with two days of exclusive private collection tours for MTA Patrons ($1500+ donors).
