The Jade Circle is the Museum’s premier group of individual donors who contribute $3,000 or more annually to support the ongoing work of the Museum. Their generosity makes possible adult and student education programs, diverse exhibitions, community outreach, collection management and outstanding visitor experiences. The Jade Circle support helps to foster a greater understanding and enjoyment of Asian art and culture and elevates the Asian Art Museum to world-class status.

Some of the outstanding benefits Jade Circle offers throughout the year are invitations to special openings, lectures and programs by scholars and staff, Consular Corps receptions, and national and international travel opportunities. In addition Jade Circle members have access to the Peterson Room, a private lounge for members to relax after visiting the galleries and a place to meet with other Jade Circle members.
