Memberships
Join today for greater access to the museum and inspiring art, exclusive programming and events, and new ways to connect with other art lovers.
Perfect for Families and anyone who has lots of guests! Along with the benefits of the individual membership, our Family and Friends membership provides unlimited information for a household for one year, plus four guest passes so that your guests can enjoy the museum with you!
Ideal for those who want to experience art and culture wherever they travel! Along with the benefits of the Friend and Family membership, our Patron members receive reciprocal admission and discounts to hundreds of museums and cultural centers through our partnership with the North American Reciprocal Museum Association and the Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums.
Our Benefactors love SJIMA and love our islands. In addition to the benefits of our Patron members, Benefactors receive a 25% discount at the SJIMA store. The SJIMA is filled with exhibition-specific books and materials, cards from local artists, and SJIMA branded merchandise.
Our Directors Circle knows that SJIMA’s exhibits and educational activities thrive with their generous contribution. With this level of support, they are helping SJIMA’s mission and vision thrive. Directors receive all the benefits of each level of SJIMA, along with the truly unique opportunity to participate in a reception and panel discussion with our exhibiting artists (held during the installation process).
Must be an SJIMA member at any level to join.
Showcase your work and connect with the local arts community! Artists’ Registry members can participate in the annual Artists’ Registry Exhibition, have a personal artist page in our online directory, and receive event promotion through SJIMA’s marketing channels, with occasional invitations to networking and educational opportunities.

BECOME A DOCENT
YEAR-ROUND OR SEASONAL PARTICIPATION
Become part of the SJIMA adventure!
If you enjoy art and are able to spare a few hours a month, you might love volunteering as a docent at the San Juan Island Museum of Art.
Experience one-on-one interaction with artists and art lovers from around the world. Acquire in-depth knowledge of nationally acclaimed artists and their work. Open the eyes of children and tour groups to the joys of art.
Being a docent enables you to learn about exciting and ever-changing art exhibitions, share your knowledge with visitors from near and far, and become a part of a community of people committed to educating and inspiring others through art. You don’t need to be an artist or have an art background to be a part of this; we provide training!
If interested, please either complete the contact form to the right or give us a call at 360-370-5050. We can arrange to give you a tour of the museum, tell you more about what it means to be a docent and answer any questions you may have.
