Tang Contemporaries

The Tang Contemporaries are young supporters of the museum—Skidmore alumni, past Tang interns and Student Advisory Council (SAC) members, and fans of art and museums. The Tang Contemporaries are the next generation of stalwart supporters who serve as advocates of the Museum by volunteering access to their global networks, skills, and financial resources to ensure the Museum’s continued success.

Tang Contemporaries donate $250 annually to Friends of the Tang; attend three annual meetings; advise Tang staff on strategic initiatives; and facilitate relationships with current Tang SAC members through information interviews and networking chats.

Tang Contemporaries receive email invitations to events, such as exhibition tours, studio visits, book launches, gallery openings, and collection visits. They also receive a 25% discount on Tang publications.

Tang Contemporaries are current and future supporters of the museum. Your support provides essential funding for educational and community outreach and furthers the mission of the Tang Museum as an innovative college teaching museum.

Why join?

My journey at the Tang, and my professional journey at large, started when I worked as an Exhibitions Assistant on the Alma Thomas exhibition during my junior year at Skidmore. The Tang provided me with the skills, mentorship, and network that enabled me to work at institutions and companies like the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and Artsy.⁠

My experience is not unique among those who worked at Tang. The Tang has cultivated a generation of Skidmore alumni working in galleries, museums, and auction houses and as practicing artists and art historians who all consider the museum as foundational to their professional and personal experiences.⁠
