Why join?

In the last few years alone, our efforts have contributed to increased support for arts organizations, a wider availability of project grants, and the creation of multimillion-dollar endowments. 

Furthermore, we provide the following benefits to our members:

• Our Alliance Group Benefits Plan through GroupHEALTH Global, which provides affordable extended health coverage for individual artists and staff of arts organizations of any size
• Member E-Net, our member-to-member correspondence service that provides cross-promotional opportunities to organizations and individuals
• Substantially reduced rental rates for our boardroom, which is ideal for workshops and presentations and can be used as an inexpensive rehearsal hall
• Discounted admission to our annual workshop series, which includes topics on grant-writing, accounting, and other areas of specific interest to artists and arts organizations
• Free jobs, calls for artists, and volunteers listings.
• A member page, a place on our Metro Vancouver arts map, and a featured member listing on our website.
