Americans for the Arts is revamping its membership program with an eye toward equity, value, and service. We look forward to launching a revitalized program on July 1, 2023. Any membership purchased AFTER JULY 1, 2022 will expire on July 30, 2023 when the new program launches. You will be offered a discounted membership renewal rate if you wish to sign up for the new program at that time.
