Membership Categories

A.R.T./New York offers two types of membership: Organization Membership and Individual Membership.

Organization membership is right for any group of people working and creating theatre together. If you are a part of a member organization, you will receive full benefits of membership.

Individual membership is right for any solo person who is otherwise not a part of a member organization. This may include designers, producers, dramaturgs, freelance arts administrators, any many, many more roles. 

We ask that members self-affirm that they have ties to the New York theatre community in some capacity. 

A.R.T./New York Membership dues are “pay-what-you-can.”

The below scale represents our suggested levels. Dues help support A.R.T./New York in providing our services, programming, and maintaining our spaces.  A.R.T./New York is committed to making membership as accessible as possible; please contact us if the minimum suggested dues pose a barrier to entry. If you are able to pay more than your suggested dues level, please consider doing so as this helps us offset the cost of membership to those that need it. Learn all about the benefits of A.R.T./New York membership.
