The Business of Art

DeCordova Sculpture Park + Museum's Corporate Program is a Membership initiative that offers Boston-area corporations the opportunity to qualify for rewarding benefits available only to our Corporate Members. Annual Corporate Member dues directly support the Museum's educational mission, collections, exhibition programming, and our program of activities designed to enhance the public's participation with art and artists. Unique to all other Boston arts institutions, participation in DeCordova's Corporate Program will enhance your space and introduce your corporate community to New England contemporary art!

Art Loan Option

DeCordova's Art Loan Option is an exciting benefit available to Corporate Members. DeCordova will install an exhibition of Museum-owned and artist-loaned artwork in Corporate Member offices for the duration of your membership. Upon annual renewal of your Corporate Member support, exhibitions are rotated to ensure a continuously stimulating and educational environment. The introduction of contemporary art to the work environment will enhance your visitors' office experience and offer your employees a first hand look at the ever advancing developments of the Boston-arts scene.

Corporate Member staff work closely with Corporate Members to assess needs for artwork, determine appropriate locations, and make curatorial recommendations for exhibition content. Corporate Member dues include the transportation, professional installation, and insurance of all artwork.
