friend mam
a community of art friends
O MAM friend is designed for people looking to get closer to the museum and connect with an engaged community of people who share an interest in promoting art and culture.
We seek to strengthen and expand relationships between members and the institution, reinventing possibilities for social connection through art and rescuing its transformative role.
By becoming a member of the program, you gain access to a series of benefits at MAM and a network of partner cultural institutions, with a monthly invitation to exclusive programming.
friends forever
At the beginning of the history of MAM São Paulo, there was a group called the Association of Friends of the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (AAMAM), which functioned as an active nucleus and engaged in supporting the museum's activities.
The group included the participation of figures such as the artists Tarsila do Amaral e Anita Malfati, the biologist Andrew Dreyfus, one of the founders of genetics in Brazil, and other personalities active in the cultural scene at the time. Historically, the group met at the famous “Bar do MAM”, located in the Diários Associados building, on Rua 7 de Setembro, and was led by Francisco Luís de Almeida Salles, film critic and central figure in São Paulo's bohemia. Between the 1980s and 1990s, the group transformed into the Partners Program. Since that time, MAM has invested in relationships with members through a dedicated and engaged benefits, activities and communication program especially for this audience.
The new MAM friend is a movement by the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art to look at the past and look to the future, maintaining an active community of people interested in art and being part of the institution's history.
