In Renaissance Italy, patrons of the arts were either rich or powerful or both. If you were a patron then, your face could appear in the painting you helped to underwrite for the church, or your patronage might allow artists to paint portraits and works for your personal enjoyment. Most people were poor, which made the wealthy art patrons an elite class.
Consider the choices before you. Not only are you receiving some enjoyable benefits, but your support is making it possible for the BJU M&G to be a more valuable resource to the community by providing educational opportunities for teachers, students, and children and the necessary funding to preserve and improve its collection.
Now, wouldn’t the Medici be jealous if they knew how easy it is to become a patron of the arts today?
