BECOME A MEMBER

The Members at the Halsey Institute are an incredible community. They are artists, lawyers, teachers, doctors, designers, professors, and everything in between that all have one thing in common: Supporting adventurous, meaningful, and thought-provoking contemporary art from emerging, mid-career, and oddly overlooked artists whose work speaks to the most pressing issues going on in our world today.

Did you know that about 70% of our spending goes directly to our exhibitions, educational projects, and community programs? When you join, renew, or gift a membership, you immediately become an integral part in helping us turn a creative idea into a reality for our whole community to experience. You not only support our mission as a Member, but also receive benefits that allow you to engage with our artists and exhibitions in meaningful ways. Enjoy events like Member Preview Days, Curator’s Coffee Club tours, and Meet the Makers, and complimentary publications and Patron Prints.

Questions? Reach out to our Director of Development, Selynne Ancheta, at AnchetaSM@cofc.edu.

 

Please note: Based on feedback from members and our Advisory Board, we have made changes as of January 1, 2021 to some of the membership benefits for a few levels of support. Reach out with any questions to halsey@cofc.edu.
