Students
Make an impact on our students. Visionary Society contributions support thousands of students in the Museum’s Every Student Initiative with a complimentary classroom visit, a pass to return to the Museum with their family, and complimentary Museum memberships for teachers in the program every year. We inspire the most vulnerable kids in our community through this crucial program now in its sixth year.
Benefits
Make an impact on your life. Visionary Society membership offers amazing benefits for your family or business like free Museum admission, free movie tickets, opportunities to use the Museum facility, special events and private tours, and even free locally sourced popcorn every time you visit.
The Visionary Society Membership includes 2 adults and children or grandchildren under age 18, PLUS special Visionary-only opportunities such as the annual Visionary Society Reception, exhibit catalogs and more!
Thank you to our current Visionary Society members for their dedication and support to our mission and the community. If you would like more information, you can contact the Visionary Society Concierge at development@peoriariverfrontmuseum.org or 309.863.3019.
