The Markham Arts Council is changing the way we do memberships
As of October 1st, 2023, the Markham Arts Council will no longer be charging a membership fee to Artists, Performers, Students, Seniors, Community Members and other Individuals to be a part of the organization. However, all Individual members still have to sign a form to indicate their interest. Please complete the linked Google Form below to be member. This membership is completely free, but does require annual renewal. Note: past MAC members must still complete this form.

Membership is also open to businesses, organizations, corporations and other groups. For a Group or Corporate Membership with the Markham Arts Council, members will still have a fee of $500 (CAD) per year. Sign up as a Group or Corporate Member by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.
