Forms of Membership

  • The Lineage Membership - Corporate Membership

    $250

    You may not be part of an ancient Italian lineage, but you are owner or manager of a business and you believe in the value of the Caetani Centre and would like your team, staff, and colleagues to experience the centre. Your membership includes up to 10 individuals and a private tour of the Caetani House and Gallery.

  • The Ninfa Membership - Not-for-Profit / Small Business Member

    $125

    Named after the renowned Ninfa Gardens on historic Caetani family property in Italy, your not-for-profit organization plants the seeds, cultivates, and grows a stronger community in the North Okanagan. We are also open to exchanging memberships with your organization. Your membership includes up to 10 individuals.

  • The Fabiani Membership - Family Membership

    $60

    Like Sveva’s mother, Ofelia Fabiani, you’re always trying to do what’s best for your family, though you’re not always sure how. A membership to a not-for-profit arts, culture, and heritage organization is a great way to connect them with local history and culture. Your membership includes up to 4 members of your chosen family.

  • The Beo Membership - Individual Membership

    $30

    Beo was Sveva’s nickname, given to her by her parents, and used by Sveva to refer to herself into her adulthood. When she was in seclusion, “Beo” was her alter ego who sketched in secret and hid her art from her mother. Your membership helps us keep Sveva and her alter ego Beo’s legacy alive.

  • The Juul Membership - Youth and Senior Membership

    $20

    The Caetani family’s paid companion/personal secretary joined the family when Sveva was a baby and remained with them until her own death in her 80s. She was with Sveva through a youth that was sometimes tumultuous and into her own golden years. Your membership cares for Sveva and her legacy as much as Miss Juul once did.
