Twice a year, 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 Friday forum is an exciting 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)

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. Patron Weekend details are coming soon! Sunday activities end at noontime.
