Membership for Arts Organizations

 

Introductory Membership Program

In response to the ongoing financial challenges cultural groups face, ArtPride is happy to announce an introductory membership program. When your arts organization becomes a member for the first time, your dues will be waived until the end of the year!

If recent history has taught us anything, it’s how important our collective voices are. New Jersey’s arts community is on a long road to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, more than ever, it is important to unite with colleagues across the state to demonstrate the vital role the arts play in our communities, economy, and quality of life.

That’s why we are offering free memberships for any New Jersey arts organization that’s never been a member of ArtPride before. 

To get started, kindly take a look at our brief overview and fill out our membership form. Once you've completed the form our team will reach out to connect with you!
