The Walters Art Museum brings together art enthusiasts to socialize, learn, and support the museum.
Friends of Asian Art
Museum supporters with a regard for Asian art can come together around their common interest in the study of this collection area and the enrichment of the Walters’ holdings of Asian and Islamic art. Supporting this collection includes access to several Asian art-specific programs throughout the year. To receive emails about upcoming programs related to Asian and Islamic art, please make a donation to the museum.
To support the acquisition of objects into the Asian and Islamic collection, you can make a contribution of any amount to the Friends of Asian Art Acquisition Fund in addition to your contribution to the operating support of the museum.

The Women’s Committee
The Women’s Committee of the Walters Art Museum was established by the Board of Trustees of the Walters Art Museum, Inc. in 1963 with a mission to support and promote the Walters Art Museum. Beginning with 12 determined members, the Committee grew to nearly 100 members at its peak.
For the last 58 years, the Committee created goodwill for the museum. It supported programs and projects that inspired creativity, learning, and exploration for students and families, and engagement for thousands of museum visitors, both onsite and online. Contributing gifts in excess of $2,000,000 to the Walters, funds raised supported the museum’s general operating costs, including bus transportation for over 75,000 Baltimore City school children visiting the museum, 25 special exhibitions, eight summer camp scholarships, two family festivals, and in 2021, the support of new educational resources such as Classroom Connect and the distribution of 10,000 Art Kits to Baltimore City and Baltimore County families.
Effective June 30, 2021, the Women’s Committee of the Walters Art Museum established the Walters Women’s Committee Legacy Endowment to support the museum’s efforts in perpetuity and ceased operations as an active committee. Funds from the Endowment continue the Women’s Committee’s legacy and longstanding commitment to supporting educational programming and expenses related to special exhibitions at the Walters.
