AAMC individual membership is open to all curators (curatorial assistant through senior or chief) with direct responsibility for works of art at any member museum of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD). Curators with similar responsibilities at non-AAMD institutions may apply for membership to the AAMC Membership Committee by clicking here. 

Dues are proportional to annual salary:

• $30 for members earning up to $50,000
• $75 for members earning between $50,000 and $80,000
• $150 for members earning over $80,000

Institutional Membership

AAMC institutional members contribute to the organization by providing the central funding we need to continue our programming each year. We are confident that the growth of the AAMC will continue to reflect the support and desire of museum directors across the country to see the curatorial profession flourish and serve both our institutions and the larger museum community. Our sliding scale dues structure is based on an institution’s budget, following the AAMD guidelines, but at a significant reduction in the contributions.  For more information about becoming an Institutional Member, please click here.
