Membership Drive
We can hardly believe that the Museum of Beadwork is well into our 2nd year! We’ve packed so many amazing exhibits, classes, and events into the last eighteen months, and 2025 is going to be even better. Now is the perfect time to join as a member so you can be a part of it all!
Since we opened in August 2023, the Museum of Beadwork has welcomed more than 1,500 visitors. Your membership gives you free access to the museum, and helps us make the museum even better!
We have put on some truly wonderful exhibits, including the Beaded Square Project, Enter the Stars, Wings & Stings, and A Novel Tea. When you get a membership, you help make it possible for us to showcase even more extraordinary beadwork by artists from around the world.
In January 2024, we debuted the Emerging Beader Program, providing valuable exhibition opportunities to talented new beadwork artists. Your membership helps support meaningful initiatives that inspire new artists and introduce the world of beadwork to new audiences.
We are particularly proud of the workshops and classes we’ve been able to offer, taught by renowned artists such as Nancy Josephson, Betsy Youngquist, Melissa Shippee, and Rebecca Combs. A membership gets you exclusive discounts on classes, workshops, and special events!
In July of 2025 we will have a members only night to celebrate the opening of our 3rd annual MOB Challenge, Startstuff & Cosmic Dust. A competition with a theme where bead artists from all over the world submit new works for prizes and prestige. Memberships support the creation of new artwork and opportunities for artists AND get you invited to exclusive events.
As a nonprofit, we depend on the support of people like you to keep the lights on, bring in amazing works of art, and offer a wide array of quality programming and events. It’s been an incredible first year, and there’s so much to look forward to in our second. We want you to be a part of all the great things to come, and the best way to do that is to get your membership today.
