Becoming a member of THE BLACK ACADEMY OF ARTS AND LETTERS not only has its advantages, but also supports the sustaining of an institution which dates over a century ago. Your membership contribution gives emerging artists a platform to showcase and launch their careers, established artists an opportunity to springboard new performing arts work, build their social media platforms, via new audiences and programs, and additional benefits.
Members can occasionally ‘mix-and-mingle’ backstage with artists, get hands-on personal Gallery Tours from the institution’s founder and gallery docents, intermittently browse and shop in our Eva Jessye Gift Shop. Your membership investment provides an ancillary revenue stream, while offering “members-only” exclusive experiences and benefit discounts.
