Americans for the Arts members are a thriving group of professionals that encourages an open exchange of ideas and knowledge to help advance the arts in America.
No matter what type or level, member benefits include valuable tools for professional development, member-only savings and discounts, and access to resources and information.

If you are the leader, staff, or a board member of an arts organization, please consider an ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERSHIP. With this option, your organization holds the membership and you can be among the designated staff members receiving the benefits.
Be a part of a national dialogue of more than 1,200 local arts agencies and service organizations who already know where to find professional development opportunities, increased visibility, and expert advice from specialists in the field—it all begins here with an Americans for the Arts Organizational Membership!
Organizational memberships run on a calendar cycle expiring on December 31 each year. Please contact membership@artsusa.org with any questions about membership periods, joining or renewing, staff rosters, or any other questions you may have. Please allow three to five business days for membership payment processing and activation of member benefits.

If you are a student, independent artist or arts consultant, or an arts professional not affiliated with an organization and want to boost your opportunities in the arts field, then an INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP will put you on the right track to success!
Determine your membership level based on how involved you wish to be in the national arts service organization dedicated to serving your professional needs. Join the conversation on one of our many informative listservs or come out to one of our national events at the discounted member rate. This is your chance to connect with other arts professionals to help advance your career in the arts and arts administration.
Individual memberships run on anniversary cycles, expiring on the last day of the month one year from when the membership was purchased. Individual memberships are nontransferable. If an organization purchases the individual's membership and the employee leaves the organization, the membership goes with the individual who is named in the membership, not the organization. Please allow three to five business days for membership payment processing and activation of member benefits. For immediate assistance, please contact the Membership Department at 202.371.2830.
