The SAM Patrons Program invites supporters to play a vital role in sustaining the museum’s mission to be a vibrant, inclusive art museum that inspires creativity, forges meaningful connections, and transforms lives through cultural experiences.

Patrons enjoy exclusive benefits including behind-the-scenes access, private previews, curator-led tours, and special events throughout the year. Most importantly, patron contributions directly support exhibitions, educational programs, and conservation efforts that make our work possible.

By becoming a Patron, you join a dedicated group of advocates who believe in the power of museums to spark curiosity, preserve stories, and enrich lives for generations to come.

To learn more about becoming a patron or to sign up, email your details to patrons@sheppartonartmuseum.com.au or download and submit the form below to the SAM shop.
