Co-Chaired by longtime Guggenheim supporters Denise LeFrak Calicchio and Linda Fischbach, the Patrons Circle is an active group of art collectors and philanthropists devoted to supporting the Guggenheim’s innovative goals and programs. This dedication continues the spirit of inspired partnership in serving the arts that began in 1937, when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation was established. Furthering the tradition of collaboration begun by Solomon R. Guggenheim, Hilla Rebay, and Frank Lloyd Wright, members of the Patrons Circle are devoted to the understanding and appreciation of contemporary art.

The museum relies on this high-level group to help support general operations.  For that reason, we are committed to strengthening the educational opportunities available to its membership with quality programming.  The Patrons Circle program includes a wide range of educational and social activities including invitations to exhibition openings, private curator-led tours, access to contemporary art fairs and galleries, and exclusive visits to artists’ studios, prominent private and corporate collections. The Patrons Circle is also a global group who have the opportunity to participate in our Guggenheim Travel Programs, featuring spectacular custom-designed trips by our curators and experts to cultural destinations around the world.
