Membership

Of course not, the Octagon is your community art center! Membership is a way for you to support us so we can keep providing arts education, outreach programs, and events, plus you get a discount when you sign-up for classes or make purchases at the Octagon Shop.

Sustaining memberships automatically renew on the date you sign-up each year that you are a member. Your credit card information is saved in our secure Square payment processor and can be managed, paused, or canceled at your convenience. 

You can sign-up for any of our four membership levels as a sustaining member, no more forgetting to renew, no more hassle of mailing in a check. Sign-up today and brag about supporting the arts tomorrow!

Boosted Giving is an optional way to “boost” your support when signing-up for or renewing your membership. For 1-year memberships, this will be a one time donation in addition to your membership fee. For sustaining memberships, this will be an annual donation in addition to your membership fee that will be charged with your membership fee each year you are a member.

Nope, Boosted Giving is totally optional. We appreciate and are deeply grateful for any and all support!

Yes! Thank you for considering it! If you’d like to donate a specific or higher amount than the Boosted Giving options provide, you can follow this link to our donation page to make a one time donation at your convenience. 

We’re working on creating a method to allow for regular donations as well (monthly, annually), much like the sustaining memberships. Check back soon!

We’re working on creating a business membership where businesses can support us while receiving adequate benefits. 

If you are a business owner or employee and are interested in supporting the Octagon and the arts, consider sponsoring one of our classes, exhibits, or events. These sponsorships have a range of benefits from your business branding on signage, website, and/or social media, to presenting sponsor awards to our participating artists, to providing the supplies for a children’s summer art camp. Email director@octagonarts.org for more information.

No one should feel like they can’t afford to belong. We strive to make membership as affordable and accessible as possible. Individuals who volunteer 20 hours or more per are eligible for membership. This can include helping in the Octagon Shop, working during the Octagon Art Festival, prepping for our education classes and workshops, and more. 

We occasionally have generous donors that donate the gift of membership, this allows us to pass that generosity on to our community. Email office@octagonarts.org for more information.

Membership fees and Boosted Giving are deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please consult your tax advisor.

Yup, all of our membership levels can still be purchased as 1-year memberships. Consider giving the gift of membership next time you’re looking for something for that “hard to shop for” person.
