October is membership renewal month and this year we have exciting, new changes for our members. When you join this October, you get three months free. (Keep on reading to find out more!)

Membership level name changes are only the beginning. For the first time, we now offer a lifetime membership. Become an OVATION member and you will never have to renew again. Individual yearly memberships are still available as family memberships. The names have changed to better reflect your commitment to the arts and now there are six different membership levels.  Click to see Membership Tier descriptions.

Why are we offering three free months of membership? Your support for the arts at Smith Mountain Lake has allowed us to continue and grow in our endeavor to bring the Arts to our community. We want to thank you for that support as we transition to a calendar based fiscal year. Your 2026 membership will continue through December of that year. Then, your 2027 renewal and years following dues will be due at the beginning of each calendar year. Thank you for your continued support of the Smith Mountain Arts Council.
