Tarble Arts Center Membership
We depend on membership support to offer all our public programming free of charge, making it more accessible to all kinds of audiences. All membership contributions go in support of Tarble programs and collections, and are tax-deductible per IRS guidelines.
The Tarble also offers reciprocal memberships in partnership with the Coles County Arts Council (CCAC) and the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Association. All CCAC members will receive a Friend-level membership with the Tarble Arts Center and its associated benefits. All members of Advocate level and up receive access to NARM and all associated benefits. If you have an existing membership and wish to upgrade, please contact us.
