Special offers
MAGazine has gone digital! The Gallery's annual member magazine is now Around the MAG, with headlines and features that change each month. Don't look for us in your mailbox, but do visit this site often. (If you're a MAG member, you'll still receive ARTiculate, our bimonthly calendar, by US mail.)
Get Cool, Get Cultured
Looking for affordable hot weather activities the whole family can enjoy? Visit MAG and our neighbor, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. At the admission desk, request a half-off coupon (available with paid or member’s free admission). Then present the coupon at the Eastman House within seven days for half-price admission. Eastman House visitors heading to MAG will receive the same courtesy.

New MAG Publication Surveys Western New York Craft Art
In March, MAG announced publication of Breaking Ground: A Century of Craft Art in Western New York, the first book to fully explore the history of the craft movement within the region. Richly illustrated with vintage and contemporary photography, the 156-page publication features original interviews with four contemporary masters— Wendell Castle (wood), Albert Paley (metal), Michael Taylor (glass) and Wayne Higby (clay). It concludes with 50 pages of striking art by 25 other contemporary artists who live in the region. It's available at the Gallery Store for $45 (softcover $30).
Looking for things to do that won't break the bank? Journey through 5,000 years of human creativity at MAG, which now offers half-price Thursday evening admission. The reduced admission, in effect every Thursday from 5 to 9 pm, is $5; senior citizens $3; college students with ID $2.50; and children 6-18 $2.50. Admission is always free to MAG members, University of Rochester students, and children 5 and under.
