Make sure to renew your membership before the year ends to pay at the lower rate before they increase in the new year.
Let’s get serious: funding for the Arts is getting cut more and more, year after year. While DARC continues to be a strong and independent resource for artists, we can only do so much with the funding we receive. If we could have it our way, memberships would all be free, but that wouldn’t be good for our bottom line. So, while we wish we didn’t have to, our rates will be increasing for all membership types as of January 6th, 2025.
Membership rates will change as follows:
| Membership | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| LONG DISTANCE | $25 → $30 ($5 increase) | • IMANA • Exhibitions/screenings (e.g. LED Exhibition, RESOLUTION) • Member Portal • Online workshops |
| ESSENTIALS | $50 → $60 ($10 increase) | • All Long Distance privileges • Workshop discount • Gear/facility access • Loop Bookings (3 free) • Microcinema Bookings • Recording Booth Bookings • Jury opportunities • Voting privileges |
| EXTENDED ACCESS | $100 → $125 ($25 increase) | • All Essentials privileges • Residency opportunities • Grant opportunities • Greater access to equipment library • Facility Access • Control Room Bookings • SOUNDSTAGE Bookings |
| ORGANIZATIONAL | $150 → $200 ($50 increase) | • All Extended Access privileges • Organizational voting privileges • Organizational Jury opportunities |
Any members renewed or registered after January 6th, 2025, will be subject to our new membership rates. You will not be charged the new rates if you have already paid for your annual membership before this date.
Thank you for your understanding in this difficult time for arts organizations 🥺. We appreciate your continued support, passion, and creativity.
