Join Our Friendly, Supportive Artist Community

JOIN ARTS BENICIA!

Members sustain Arts Benicia and make it possible to continue our 38+ year history of enriching our community through the visual arts. Your membership supports a wide variety of rich arts programming that includes classes for children and adults, Family Art Days, and a full calendar of exhibitions in our gallery and local businesses.

You may be able to deduct membership fees or dues you pay to a qualified organization. However, you can deduct only the amount that is more than the value of the benefits you receive.
