The majority of membership support enables the Donkey Mill to give it right back to our community in the form of keeping many of our events free of charge and offering exclusive discounts for our members for tuition and gift shop purchases. Among our priceless membership perks is open studio access to our ceramics, print, and metals studios. Memberships are also a show of strength and unity in this fractured world. We currently have over 350 members and proudly share this statistic in every grant application we submit to governmental and private institutional funding sources. A strong member base demonstrates the Donkey Mill’s relevance in the community.
