Membership FAQs

What are Artist Memberships and Patronage Packages?

​

Artist Memberships are designed for emerging artists seeking exposure, support, and community. These memberships provide resources, networking opportunities, and platforms for artists to showcase their work.

​

Patronage Packages are for individuals or businesses who wish to support the arts while receiving exclusive benefits. These packages range from access to art events to personal art consultations, depending on the tier selected.

How do I choose the right Patronage Package?

Consider what aspects of the arts community you're most interested in supporting and what benefits align with your interests. Each tier offers a unique set of benefits catering to different levels of engagement and support. Review each tier’s offerings and select the one that best suits your passion for the arts.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my Patronage Package?

Yes, you can adjust your patronage level at any time. Upgrading provides immediate access to additional benefits, while downgrading will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

How do I cancel my membership?

You can cancel your membership at any time through our website portal. Simply log in to your account, navigate to the 'My Profile' section, and follow the instructions to cancel. Please note that cancellation requests should be submitted at least 5 days before your next billing date to avoid further charges.

Are contributions tax-deductible?

Yes, contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. As Avante Garde is a registered nonprofit organization, your support as a patron qualifies as a charitable donation.

What happens if an event is canceled?

If an event included in your package is canceled, we will provide alternative benefits such as a ticket to a different event, online content exclusive to patrons, or the option for a refund as applicable.

How are the funds from the Patronage Packages used?

Funds from Patronage Packages directly support our mission to assist emerging artists and enhance the local art scene. This includes artist grants, educational programs, community outreach, and operational expenses to keep our platform running and accessible.
