2023 ARLIS/NA Membership Dues
2023 Dues
Starting January 1, 2023, the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) will increase membership dues across each membership type.
The ARLIS/NA Executive Board recently completed its annual budgeting process for FY23 (January 1, 2023-December 31, 2023). The impact of the pandemic and rising costs required that the board engage in difficult but necessary conversations on the financial position of the organization. We are taking bold yet responsible steps to ensure that we bolster existing member benefits, expand our efforts on behalf of the arts information profession and workers, and directly address expenses. With these changes, we ensure that ARLIS/NA remains balanced, healthy, and thriving.
