The Friends of Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums (AAGM) is a vibrant charity supporting some of the city’s most iconic cultural spaces – including Aberdeen Art Gallery, the Maritime Museum, Provost Skene’s House, The Tolbooth Museum, and the City Archives.
Since 1975, the Friends have helped bring Aberdeen’s incredible heritage to life. Their support has enabled the acquisition of major artworks and artefacts, funded conservation and new displays, and helped develop exciting initiatives like the Micro Commissions, which nurture local creative talent.
Whether you’re passionate about preserving the past or shaping the future of Aberdeen’s cultural landscape, joining the Friends is a great way to get involved, give back, and stay inspired.
A Friends Update event at the Treasure Hub looked at artworks created as part of the micro-commissions programme, which are supported by the Friends
Join us today – and help keep art, history, and culture thriving in Aberdeen.
One member shared: “I joined the Friends because I think programmes like the Micro Commissions are a great way to support and nurture local artists and makers. I also enjoy the talks by artists and gallery staff, while visits to the city archives and the Treasure Hub have widened my understanding of some of Aberdeen’s great cultural resources. The exclusive Friends’ previews are also an excellent opportunity to see exhibitions as they open. I would recommend joining the Friends both to help support and develop the artistic community in Aberdeen and to learn more about the gallery and museums and how they interact with the city’s wider cultural scene.”
