Looking for a gift that is fun, unexpected, and an experience? Give the gift of art!

THE WOODLANDS, TX – As the portrait of 2025 nears completion and a new canvas prepares to be set up to paint next year, The Woodlands Arts Council encourages you to consider donating to a worthy cause.

The council’s Art Lover Program is a year-round membership that connects our community through the performing and visual arts in The Woodlands. It’s not just a present; it’s an invitation to enjoy art, meet people, and be part of The Woodlands’ arts scene. Art Lovers enjoy event tickets, special invitations, exclusive updates, and a full year of engaging arts experiences, events, and exhibitions.

Whether you buy a membership for a loved one as a gift, or buy your own and spoil yourself, from The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival and other events, to exhibits and special gatherings, there is always something to look forward to. It is perfect for friends who love getting out, couples who enjoy experiences together, or anyone who lights up around creativity.

Every membership supports The Woodlands Arts Council's mission of Making Art Matter and helps sustain vibrant arts programming. An Art Lover Membership is a thoughtful way to share your passion for the arts and support the arts.

By joining the Art Lover Program, you provide essential support for the council’s year-round community programming. Art Lovers help sustain their Microgrant Program, Student Art Scholarships, Young Makers Market, free exhibitions, and more — keeping creativity alive throughout The Woodlands.

“As a nonprofit organization that receives no direct Township funding, we rely on Art Lovers like you to help maintain the excellence of our nationally ranked Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival and our exciting new Texas Fine Craft Show,” said council representatives.

In addition to tickets and special perks at signature events, members enjoy exclusive invitations, insider updates, and opportunities that connect them with the arts and our creative community. Your membership makes art matter every day. Memberships renew annually beginning January 1.

Membership levels start as low as $150 a year for Artist and Friend levels that give you benefits like admission to a selected event, exclusive invitations to Art Lover-only networking opportunities, early access to news about workshops, Q&As, early ticket on-sales, and upcoming events at the council, and some discounted rates.

The Curator level membership, on the other end of the spectrum at $2,000, fills your palette and palate with multiple VIP tickets, guaranteed placement at VIP events, and so much more. A portion of all memberships is tax deductible.
