Eastman Museum Council
The Eastman Museum Council is an extraordinary group of more than 200 dedicated museum members who contribute time, talent, and energy to support the activities of the George Eastman Museum. Through voluntary service and fundraising, council members are enthusiastic ambassadors for the museum, and they exemplify George Eastman’s legacy of commitment to community and philanthropy.
In addition to photography, cinema, and technology, council members are interested in architecture, art, conservation, gardening, historic preservation, literature, local history, music, performing arts, and travel. Many council members also serve as museum docents.
The Eastman Museum Council was founded in 1983. Since then, it has committed more than $1.5 million to the restoration of the historic mansion, the renovation of the Dryden Theatre, public programs, and other projects.
