Webinars
Are you a member of Americans for the Arts? We encourage you to engage in our extensive menu of webinars free of charge. If you are not yet a member, join today and receive access to these high-quality, online professional development sessions. Here at Americans for the Arts, we cater to the fact that our members are committed to expanding their professional skills and knowledge, but can't always travel to meetings and presentations.
Our webinars are available to nonmembers for $35.00 each. (Terms and Conditions Apply)
Not only do our members receive free access to all webinars, but they enjoy many other exclusive benefits as well. However, If you joined Americans for the Arts in the last week and want to attend a live webinar or listen to an on demand webinar, you may not be able to register online. Please contact membership@artsusa.org or 202.371.2830 if you need assistance—we are here to help!
