The Palette & Chisel instituted its Patron Member Program in 1989 to help the regular membership of artists. The nationwide Patron Membership Program has proven successful in allowing the Palette & Chisel to sustain and expand its programs and services. We look forward to its continued growth. Support has been received from the Jane Ellen Murray Foundation, the Norris Foundation, the McCormick Foundation and the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Chicago. Network with art lovers.

All Patron Members receive:

• Invitations to special previews of exhibitions
