Welcome to our annual May Giving Campaign! 

The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is excited to announce a month-long giving 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.

Now is a great time to support us with a donation or membership. We have a match of $25,000 from an anonymous donor this year to maximize your support. In addition to our current membership benefits and our new virtual members-only events, we are offering exciting perks for everyone that participates during the month of May! 

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

MAY GIVING PERKS

All month long:

• All members at all levels, new and renewing, will receive an 18-month membership term instead of the standard 12-month term! As both a perk of our May Giving Campaign and recognizing the #stayhome measures in place for COVID-19 response, we are offering extended membership terms.
• Tag us on social media and receive 20% off on your membership! Post about the Halsey Institute on your social media account and tag our account on that platform to receive an email with a special link to join or renew at 20% off our regular membership prices. The Halsey Institute has an Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter account. Follow us on all three! Limited to one discount per membership.
