ArtsArenaPLUS is the membership program for the Arts Arena. It is the members’ generosity that allows The Arts Arena to maintain a policy of offering quality cultural events that are free and open to the pubic. As a way of recognizing this contribution, we initiated in 2010-11 ArtsArenaPLUS, offering a number of special events organized exclusively for Arts Arena members at different levels.
