Friends of The Art Museum
Established in 1981 to support the Art Museum, the Friends is a multi-cultural society with about 500 members worldwide. It forms a vital link between the Art Museum and the Hong Kong community through lectures, study groups, tours to special exhibitions in Hong Kong and trips throughout Asia. The proceeds from these activities are used for fine arts student scholarships and grants and the acquisition of artworks for the Art Museum's permanent collection. The Friends is delighted to welcome new members who share their interests and wish to participate in its wide range of programmes.

Famous quotes containing the words friends of, friends, art and/or museum:
“We can teach prevention. For little kids, the best protection is that they should not be alone in public places. All children should be conscious of strangers, and be discriminating and wary of them. This won’t make them grow up suspicious as long as they have adults around whom they know and can trust: relatives, friends of their parents, parents of friends.”
—“How Parents Can Talk to Their Kids,” Newsweek (January 10, 1994)
“If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.”
—Charles Bukowski (1920–1994)
“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
“[A] Dada exhibition. Another one! What’s the matter with everyone wanting to make a museum piece out of Dada? Dada was a bomb ... can you imagine anyone, around half a century after a bomb explodes, wanting to collect the pieces, sticking it together and displaying it?”
—Max Ernst (1891–1976)
