Emerge is an MCA Circle Donor affinity group of art enthusiasts, collectors, and art patrons interested in furthering the mission of the MCA. Dues start at $1,000/year.

Emerge supports the museum most notably through its annual art acquisition. In addition to identifying and collectively funding the purchase of new work by artists not currently represented in the MCA collection, Emerge also sponsors events with artists, curators, and arts leaders that reflect the dynamic issues of contemporary art today.

For more information, email emerge@mcachicago.org.

Emerge Benefits

Membership benefits include invitations to exclusive events that create meaningful interactions between Emerge members and artists, and art world leaders; intimate access to MCA curators; voting privileges for the annual acquisition; and tickets to all Emerge-sponsored public programs.

This group is appropriate for both the new and long-time collector, and anyone interested in learning more about contemporary art.
