Join a growing community of patrons who believe in the power of art to impact our communities.  Ballet 5:8’s membership program makes it easy and meaningful to support the art you love — while enjoying exclusive benefits that bring you closer to the artists and the creative process.

Memberships are monthly, flexible, and designed to meet you where you are. You choose the level that fits your lifestyle and commitment. Please note: Yearly one-time donations are not included in membership. If you're already a monthly donor, you can opt into a tier — or choose to remain a donor without member perks.

We’re working to grow our community to 50 members this season, and we’ve got exciting perks in progress with local businesses to make your membership even more rewarding.
