With a little help from our friends

The Johannesburg Art Gallery can maintain its collection of Picassos and Rodins, Sekotos and Pierneefs. Together, the #FRIENDSOFJAG find innovative ways to raise funds for the gallery's activities and educational programmes. Whether you're a visitor, a friend or a BFF of JAG, your contributions serve to nourish the roots of culture.

Membership runs for one year from the date you join, and you're in the driver's seat — manage your details, update your information and renew when the time comes, all from your own member portal. And of course, we're always just an email away at friend@friendsofjag.org if you'd like a hand.
