Stanislaus Arts Council Membership

The Stanislaus Arts Council’s membership program is designed to be inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the diverse ways individuals, families, and supporters engage with the arts in Stanislaus County. Memberships are annual and provide meaningful opportunities to participate, connect, and support the creative community.

Membership with the Stanislaus Arts Council is more than a benefit—it is an invitation to belong to a thriving creative ecosystem. Whether you are an artist actively producing work, a student discovering your voice, a family creating together, or a community supporter who believes in the power of the arts, our membership program offers meaningful ways to engage, connect, and contribute.

Through exhibitions, public programs, artist opportunities, and community partnerships, members play a vital role in strengthening cultural life throughout Stanislaus County. Every membership directly supports artists, access to the arts, and creative opportunities for all.
