If you join the Wichita Art Museum at a membership level of $600 or above, you are entitled to the benefits of the Murdock Society. And when you join, prepare for lots of high-brow fun and facts. For instance, you might find yourself in "Conversations with Charlie." That's Murdock-ese for Thursday evening chats with our esteemed director, Charles Steiner. He's a master at coming up with interesting tidbits and controversies about art, artists, and the state of collecting in today's market. Sometimes one can even be regaled by "dueling director chats" between Charlie and other area museum directors or art curators. Even knowledgeable Murdock members who are experts in a particular field take center stage.
Then, there's the really exciting perk of "Travels with Charlie." Murdock members plan art trips at home and around the country. Think in-town visits to private and corporate art collections; short one-or-two day trips to nearby cities like Kansas City, Tulsa, or Dallas. There's at least one 4-5 day trip to experience exclusive, private collections in a major city such as New York or San Francisco. Lots of planning and networking goes into these excursions; and we promise you'll have an up-close and personal view of some of the most exciting art in the country.
Murdock Society activities and trips are announced to their membership and added to the WAM calendar.
