Friends of the Rubin

Your generosity amplifies the visibility of the art and artists of the greater Himalayan region and diaspora and enriches cultural dialogue on a global scale through meaningful programs such as: 

• Traveling exhibitions like Gateway to Himalayan Art, which introduces Himalayan art to communities near and far 
• Long-term partnerships like the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room at the Brooklyn Museum, which brings cultural heritage and serenity to new people and settings 
• Educational resources for K–12 and higher education institutions, which inspire future stewards of art and culture 
• Grants awarded directly to artists, creatives, and scholars, which empower great thinkers and practitioners to preserve and innovate

Friends of the Rubin is dedicated community that shares both a profound appreciation for the art and cultures of the Himalayas, Asia, and diaspora and a vision for expanding their visibility and strengthening their influence. We invite you to deepen your connection through our quarterly email newsletter with insights into the impact of your support, in-person and virtual event invitations, and a print copy of Spiral magazine. Experience the Rubin at an intimate level and see how your generosity impacts the Museum’s diverse projects in New York City, the United States, and abroad!
