MEMBERS MAKE ART HAPPEN

Membership at the Duluth Art Institute is about bridging art and everyday life. Celebrate local working artists and invest in creative opportunities by purchasing a year-long membership at any level. Unlock exclusive member benefits while supporting education programs, exhibitions, and studio spaces.

Each membership counts: $25 can buy enough hardware for an exhibition, each $60 buys paint for gallery walls, $80 can buy supplies for an afternoon of youth art camp, and every $250 helps keep our photography studio open and free for DAI member artists.

Thank you for considering a DAI membership. Online membership form and benefit tiers below.

PAY IT FORWARD

Artists value DAI membership. At times, artists are unable to pay for their membership to access valuable benefits like class discounts, member-exclusive mailings, and an entry into the Annual Member Show. When you add the "Pay it Forward" Payment Memo to your donation, it directly helps an artist with membership or class costs.
