The Members Circle is designed for socially engaged and intellectually curious patrons who wish to play a vital role in supporting Active Cultures and its community.

Through their advocacy and contributions, members help feed our artist-led programming, exploring the intersections of art, food, land, and ecologies, while ensuring that our community remains a space for deep inquiry, exchange, and connection.

Active Cultures’ Members receive:

  • Exclusive invitations to our Supper Club, intimate evenings where our community of artists, chefs, advisors, and supporters come together around the table.
  • Recognition on all AC communications throughout the year.
  • Priority access to our Artist Lunches: studio visits and meals that explore culture and our city through the perspectives of artists and chefs.
  • Personalized readings, recommendations, and invitations that offer a closer connection to AC’s work and vision.

Active Cultures hosts our seasonal Supper Club throughout the year, bringing together our closest community of supporters, advisors, and collaborators.
