Patron Groups
Studio visit with Ushio Shinohara.
Japan Society's three Patron Groups—Circle of Friends, Friends of the Gallery and the 333 Club—offer like-minded Japan Society members a range of special benefits including fabulous networking opportunities, invitations to exclusive special events and direct exposure to visiting artists, performers and speakers.
We deeply appreciate the commitment of our Patron Group members to Japan Society and their invaluable support of our vibrant and varied programming.
