Co|So Circle: Young Art Enthusiasts

By emphasizing shared experiences rather than obligations, members gain the foundation to grow into the collectors, patrons, and advocates of tomorrow.

About Co|So Circle

Co|So Circle creates an entry point for young art enthusiasts to connect with Boston’s cultural life through access to artists, exhibitions, and shared experiences. As part of the Copley Society of Art, Co|So Circle offers opportunities that are social, approachable, and engaging, fostering curiosity, creativity, and meaningful connections. Members are invited to explore collecting without pressure while building the foundation to become the cultural supporters and patrons of tomorrow.

History

The Copley Society of Art is the oldest nonprofit art association in the United States, with a legacy of supporting artists and fostering community since 1879. Co|So Circle was first created more than a decade ago as a space for emerging art enthusiasts to connect with one another and with the gallery. After a period of dormancy, this patron program is re-emerging with a renewed focus on inclusivity, shared experiences, and cultivating enthusiasm for art in Boston’s next generation.
