The month of May is a great time to support our mission and programming with a donation or membership!

Our staff and advisory board are excited to announce our annual month-long fundraising campaign. Invest in our programming and help the Halsey Institute thrive as a platform for experimentation for artists from around the world. Through the exhibitions we produce, we spur important conversations about the most pressing topics of our time. Together with our members and visitors, we have built an important community resource providing barrier-free access to adventurous contemporary art for everyone.

Join as a member or upgrade your current membership to take advantage of the great May Giving Campaign specials and raffles. In addition to our current membership benefits and programs, we are offering exciting perks for everyone that makes a gift during the month of May! 

Did you know that you can pay for your year-long membership in quarterly, monthly, or weekly installments? You can even decide which day of the month is best for your budget!

All contributions directly support our upcoming exhibitions, public programs, educational opportunities, and free admission to the galleries.
