An exciting change is happening at the Arts Council. For nearly 50 years, we've provided support to non-profit organizations in our community. And we recognize that the arts community is bigger than just non-profit organizations. That's why we're rolling out our new member services program.

Now, anyone can become a member of the Arts Council!

• Individual membership is available to artists, educators and friends of the arts, with a discount rate for college students. Individual Member Services | Join Online!
  

• Group membership is available to businesses and schools Group Member Services | Join Online!

We're very excited to open our membership to all the groups and individuals who play a vital role in the arts every day. We thank you for all that you do, and hope you'll join us in support of our common goal: a community where each person has access to the arts.
