Memberships
Celebrate the beginning of The Arts Center’s 2nd decade by joining our community of culture enthusiasts. Our 11th season brings stories of our communities to life: exploring histories, heritages, and cultures through the performing arts.
Membership at The Arts Center unites people: bringing audiences closer to the artists; creating meeting points for community; and connecting ideas and inspiration.
A season of theater, dance, music, and film awaits you. Our 11th season includes a year of artist residencies showcasing more than 40 performances; all surrounded by Q&As, workshops, and talks. Become a member: Support the arts. Members will have exclusive access for booking for our 11th season through June 24.
