Membership

As a member, your organization is part of a vibrant and vital community that uplifts the arts and culture sector across the Greater Philadelphia region. Together, we do important work—work that benefits not only individual organizations, but the broader cultural ecosystem.

Here are just a few ways we’re making an impact, and how membership supports and strengthens that work:

• Advocacy: We amplify the voice of the arts and culture community to our elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels.
• Data & Research: We provide timely, insightful reporting on the health and trends of our sector, keeping our members informed and empowered.
• Grants Administration: As the regional partner of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, we redistribute essential funding directly to creative entrepreneurs and arts organizations like yours.
• Workforce Development: We manage one of the region’s largest collections of job postings for the arts and culture sector on our Job Bank. Our Bloomberg Arts Internship Program is shaping the next generation of cultural leaders through paid, real-world work experiences for high school students.
• Professional Connections: Through our Annual Meeting, Member Directory,  CultureWire™ newsletter, and other member events, we bring the sector together and provide opportunities to network, collaborate and stay informed - which strengthens and unifies our community.

In addition to the work we do to strengthen the sector, membership also brings additional benefits. See the list below for the administrative savings that come with being a member.

Membership is annual and dues are based on an organization’s operating expenses (nonprofits) or annual revenues (for-profits). Click here for the dues chart.
