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. 

 When applying for membership and/or renewing each year, you will pay annual dues accordingly to a suggested scale based on your self-identified operating budget. These  membership dues go to providing the resources you can take full advantage of as a member—workshops and roundtables, grant applications, subsidized studio space, and more. Learn all about the benefits of A.R.T./New York membership.
