Design Your Own Membership
The Rockwell offers Members the opportunity to design their own membership based on their unique interests. Choose from five base benefit levels and three optional enhancements, only available at The Rockwell.
The Membership Experience
Our new Rockwell Member Portal allows members to register for events quickly and easily; plus, gain priority registration for our most popular programs.
Smithsonian Affiliate
Membership at The Rockwell is a partnership. You gain exclusive benefits and privileges, all while supporting the preservation of The Rockwell’s nationally-recognized collection and the growth of innovative programming and educational outreach initiatives - at the only Smithsonian-affiliated museum in the region!
Your New Favorite Place to Shop
Rockwell Members enjoy 10% off their purchases in The Rockwell Museum Store, all year long. Plus, your purchases further support The Rockwell collection and educational initiatives!
First Looks
Be the first to see special exhibitions! Members are invited to all exhibition openings, with complimentary food and beverage.
Lifelong Learners
Rockwell Members are invited to all of our lectures for free or reduced admission. You'll hear from Smithsonian speakers, guest artists and curators, historians, art collectors and more.
Rockwell Ambassadors
This new membership enhancement for young art-lovers offers even more ways to fill your calendar with culture-centric social activities.
Family Membership
Our new Family Membership enhancement means free admission for the whole family (and caregivers) - plus special treatment at popular family programming. And for parents who want to do it all, bundle Ambassadors and Family membership enhancements for a discount!
