Membership

You love art and you want to see more of it. 

When you become a MING Studios member, you make art happen.  You directly support arts education and cultural exchange and diverse programming for our community and artists.  And you help bring international artist residents to Idaho who, in turn, develop site specific installations and exhibits. 

Here is a list of benefits MING Members receive:
  • ​support the expansion of Arts & Culture opportunities in Boise, ID
  • ​gain first access to scheduled programming;  seating at MING Studios is limited, so our Members will be the first to learn of upcoming events and the first to RSVP
  • ​receive discounts to ticketed programs, including Workshops, Performances, Dinners and select events
  • ​receive discounts for MING merchandise, such as t-shirts, canvas bags, postcard sets, and other items as we introduce them to our shop
  • receive first access and discounts for limited edition MING Resident Artist prints and books
