HARRIET ALLYN SOCIETY

This upper level donor group was established by loyal supporters and is named in honor of the founding patron of the Lyman Allyn Art Museum.  The Harriet Allyn Society (HAS) is committed to celebrating the Museum’s impressive seventy-five year history by supporting the Museum’s current and future exhibitions and educational programs. 

Harriet Allyn Society members enjoy special opportunities to attend Lyman Allyn exhibition previews, lectures, private tours and receptions, and enjoy discounts in the museum store.  HAS members also have the opportunity to travel to art centers where they meet with collectors, museum professionals, artists and dealers while sampling the best of the locale’s dining and entertainment.

You may also join or renew in the Museum lobby during regular Museum hours or by calling our Membership Department Monday–Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 860.443.2545 ext. 137.
