Parrish Builders    

As a Parrish Builder, you will play a leadership role in honoring, preserving and perpetuating the vibrant cultural life of Long Island’s East End.

Your generous annual gift of $1,000 or more will enable The Parrish to present outstanding exhibitions that engage and inspire tens of thousands of East End residents and visitors each year. It will also support award-winning educational programming that enriches the lives of adults and children throughout the region, and provide essential funding for the preservation and growth of our world-renowned collection of American art.

In return, you will enjoy exceptional privileges, including exciting opportunities to meet regional artists, prominent scholars, and the many talented curators and experts who create our stunning exhibitions and care for our permanent collection.

With your help, The Parrish Art Museum will continue to sustain and celebrate the unique artistic heritage that defines the East End, and to serve residents, visitors, students and artists for generations to come.

Please join us as a Parrish Builder today.
