Why should I become a member of GSCA?

With an annual membership, Grand Street Community Arts (GSCA) will be further supported to provide individuals of all ages, interests, abilities, and backgrounds with programs intended to challenge and inspire. Your membership is your voice to make sure Grand Street’s doors stay open so we can continue to provide important programs for our neighborhood.

What are some examples of where my membership dollars go?

Each of the membership levels provide tangible benefits for Grand Street’s programming and participants for example: a $25 membership ensures art supplies for one child for after-school Art Club; a $125 membership buys enough supplies for a Youth Organics to build a raised garden bed; $500 covers our lumber for our BoardedUP series or editing software for Youth FX.
