The Cantor Arts Center plays a leading role in the cultural life of the Stanford campus and greater community, welcoming some 200,000 visitors a year to its 24 galleries. The Cantor's collections include more than 38,000 works of art, spanning 5,000 years of history and crossing continents from the Americas to Europe, and from Africa to Asia. Our vibrant family programs, lectures, art classes and special events will continue online until it is safe to assemble in larger groups again. We can't do all of this without our members.
