MTA Spring 2022 Programs, Palm Beach, FL
April 8-10, 2022

​MTA convenes gatherings of museum trustees and senior staff to discuss and develop governance skills in a team building environment that is essential to the success of museum trustees. Over several days of programs and experiences, museum leaders will hear from experts, learn from peers and dive into pressing topics that museums are grappling with today. The forum is an excellent opportunity for trustees and senior staff to share in an educational time that promotes discussion and team building. Programming concludes with two days of exclusive collection tours for MTA Patrons ($1,500+ donors)​. A schedule of events is below. Registration is a la carte.

Patron Weekend

Through a carefully selected schedule of gallery, museum, and private collection tours, Patrons see sides of the city that are not accessible to the average visitor. These private events provide ample opportunity for board members from across the Americas to network with their peers and to build lasting relationships with like-minded individuals. Our weekend in Palm Beach will include excursions to several galleries and private art collections.
