Become a Member - Blowing Rock Art and History Museum (BRAHM)

The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum (BRAHM) is a non-profit organization which relies on the generosity of its members, sponsors, patrons, and supporters to thrive, and to achieve its mission and goals. BRAHM will play a vital role in the community by promoting the visual arts, history and heritage of the mountains through educational opportunities for children and adults, innovative exhibitions, and important historic programs.

As a relatively new organization, heading toward a goal of completing a new facility by the year 2010, funding is especially crucial at this time. Please consider a membership in BRAHM as a means of helping to build the museum, and as a means of supporting the artistic and cultural environment of the Blowing Rock region.

Membership in the Museum family now ensures your early involvement in a vibrant, dynamic organization. We're off and running! Come be a part of this exciting endeavor.

Please note that there are multiple member benefits that accompany the annual giving levels for BRAHM. "It's very important that supporters of the museum feel they are getting additional value in return for their generosity," says LaRose Spooner, BRAHM trustee and membership chairman. "We hope that all our members will take advantage of the benefits that accompany their membership in BRAHM." Such benefits, depending on a member's annual giving level, include a subscription to the quarterly BRAHM newsletter, discount on sales in the Museum Store, invitations to special receptions and events, and priority reservation for special art and history travel opportunities.
