How can I purchase a membership?
Memberships can be purchased online, at the Admissions Desk in the museum lobby, or by calling the Membership Office at 212-547-0707.
For how long is my membership valid?
Memberships are valid for one year from the end of the month in which you joined (excluding any temporary promotions). For instance, if you joined on July 15, 2024, your membership would be valid until July 31, 2025.
Can I share my membership?
If you purchase a membership that allows for more than one person, such as a Dual membership, you may indicate the name for the second card or have it say "Guest of..." and provide your guest with the second card. Members are welcome to share a membership, but we ask that all mail be sent to only one address and your digital membership card be sent to one primary email address.
Does the Frick offer a student membership?
Yes, student memberships can be purchased on-site at the Admissions Desk upon presentation of a valid full-time student ID. If renewing or joining by mail or phone, students must include a copy of their valid full-time student ID with their enrollment form or renewal slip, or as a photo in an email to members@frick.org.
What communication will I receive as a member?
Communications regarding your membership, including your membership card and invitations to special events, will be sent via email. Please ensure you provide us with a valid email address to receive these communications and invitations.
All members receive the Members’ Magazine in the mail. Members starting at the Sustaining Friend level will also receive one specially selected publication per year.
If I join at the museum, can my ticket price for the day be applied to the cost of my new membership?
Yes. Ask the representative at the Admissions Desk how you can apply an admission ticket to the cost of membership.
