Arts Council Members

Membership in the Arts Council of Erie is open to any non-profit organization that is involved with the arts, whether through presenting, programming or projects.

By becoming a member of the Arts Council, organizations show their support for the role of the Arts Council in the community. In addition, members receive notification of funding opportunities, invitations to workshops, subsidized quarterly networking luncheons, use of the Arts Council as a ticket outlet and the opportunity to be linked to the Arts Council website. The letterhead of the Arts Council contains a list of members, which is updated annually.

Dues are based on membership levels, with benefits increasing at each level. The membership year runs from July 1 through June 30. Dues for organizations joining during the fiscal year will be prorated.

The Arts Council is considering options for expanding its membership to any person, business or organization that supports the arts. If you have an opinion on this matter, feel free to contact Char Mashyna, Executive Director or Zach Flock, Program Associate.
