The AADG is a non-profit, tax-exempt institution of public interest. It is the museum's strategic and executive body, whose aim is to promote Swiss artists who are never or too rarely exhibited to a broad public.

Through their annual membership fee, members contribute to the continuity of the museum's activities, as well as that of its website. They benefit from reduced rates and other advantages.
