Read on to learn about membership benefits and how to join.
Join our collective group of arts supporters, artists,
educators, festivals and organizations.
When you join the Arts Council, you become a member of a family and a community that supports and respects the work that you do. Growing that community is at the heart of our mission. The Arts Council exists to support you, and in turn,
your membership helps us achieve our mission – to support, strengthen and
promote arts, culture and creativity in the capital region.
Your Arts Council membership opens doors to connections; it helps you find your people and grow as a creative and an organization.
New members can join at any time;
however, the sooner you join, the more benefits you will be able to receive!
We are committed to providing an exclusive benefit package to our members and providing you the support you need. We look forward to welcoming you as a member of our arts family and look forward to working with you in the years to come.
There is a membership for
everyone, and each has individual additional benefits, listed below. To join
you must be an artist, arts organization or creative who resides in Ingham,
Clinton, or Eaton counties.
NOTE: Membership in all categories is based on the calendar year (Jan.
1 – Dec. 31).
