Why the Frye?
Frye members get insider access to the latest exhibitions and the chance to connect with the Seattle arts community in unique ways. Join today to stay in the know, unlock special discounts, and get your invitations to members-only events all year long.
Showcasing the museum’s collection, presenting cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions, supporting local artists, and offering inclusive programs for the community—all are made possible by Frye members. Membership not only enriches your experience at the Frye, but makes an impact in the community far beyond the museum walls.
