Founded in 1916 to bring together “art lovers” and “art workers” for a cultural conversation in an elegant setting, The Arts Club welcomes applications for private membership from patrons and practitioners of the arts, including music, literature, visual art, architecture, design, scholarship, and administration.

Those interested in applying may request a detailed application from The Arts Club office or from a current member. Both paper and electronic applications are available. For those new to the city or the cultural community, The Arts Club will be happy to facilitate introductions to current members.
