Membership Program

Be at the center of Counterpublic’s creative transformation.

Whether you’re new to St. Louis or a lifelong citizen, Public Benefit Society Circles connect support, service, and social experiences with a commitment to the future of St. Louis. Organized in two levels, Transform Circle and Leadership Circle, memberships offer a range of opportunities to engage St. Louis in new and unexpected ways while connecting into our work along the three-year timeline of the exhibition. Go behind the scenes with Counterpublic’s partners throughout the region, meet with curators and artists, volunteer at partner sites, and enjoy exclusive access into the St. Louis arts scene.

Building from the model of mutual benefit societies prominent in our city’s early history, Public Benefit Society sustains the vision and impact of Counterpublic while ensuring our success is connected with the success of our communities. Your contributions support Counterpublic and our partners simultaneously, with 50% of your contributions redistributed directly to community partners, seeding collaborative futures and lasting change.

All memberships and donations are 100% tax deductible.
