Become a Member (or Renew!)
What does it mean to be a member of the MAH? Members provide essential support for everything we do to present art, history, and culture to the community. Members make it possible for creative, curious people throughout Santa Cruz county to explore their passions. You provide hands-on educational programs and camps for schoolchildren and lifelong learners. You put paint on the walls, hang artwork, and preserve historic artifacts. You and other members give the whole community a gift that connects people to art, history, ideas, and culture.
And in return for your gift, we like to thank you with some great benefits. While there are special benefits at the higher levels of membership, all members receive:
- Free Admission to the MAH’s contemporary art and Santa Cruz County history exhibitions
- Free or discounted admission to over 50 programs a year
- Invitations to Members-only Preview Exhibitions and Receptions
- Discounts at the Museum Store and at Lulu’s at the Octagon
- Priority enrollment for children in the MAH’s outstanding youth programs including summer and winter day-camps
