Support the Gallery by becoming a Friend
The Friends help to fund new acquisitions for the Gallery collection, contribute towards conservation costs and promote an appreciation of the fine arts in the York area.
Members enjoy a 10% discount in the Gallery shop (excluding ceramics) and access to our Events Programme, featuring lectures, gallery visits, social events and trips away. We also organise talks by specialists in the Gallery’s collection (scholars, private researchers, and curators).
