The Reality for Most Arts Organizations

Three Problems That Drain Every Small Arts Team

01

Ticket Sales Do Not Tell You Who Keeps Coming Back

The box office knows who bought what, not who comes to every show and would pay to belong. Join It gives those patrons a level, a card and a renewal date, and connects their attendance back to one record.

02

Member Data Lives in a CRM Nobody Can Get Data Out Of

Years of entries in a system set up a decade ago, and every report is a headache. Join It gives you one searchable member list, reports by any field, and a portal where members keep their own details current.

03

Renewals Slip During the Season

A membership launched in the quiet months lapses in the busy ones, when the team is producing, not reminding. Join It sends renewal reminders before and after the date, takes the payment and marks the record renewed.

Everything You Need

One Platform, Purpose-Built for Arts Memberships

Join It replaces your scattered tools with a single platform your whole team can use, without a training manual.

Member Records

Every member, contact detail, membership type and payment history in one searchable database.

Dues and Renewals

Collect annual or monthly membership online, or record checks by hand. See who is current and who has lapsed at a glance.

Automations

Renewal reminders, overdue notices and failed-payment alerts go out for you, on the schedule you set.

Artist Portal

Members update their own details, pay and download their card without calling the office.

Communications

Send announcements and newsletters to your whole community or to specific groups, straight from your member list.

Member Benefits at Events

Set member pricing and early access on Join It events, or connect Eventbrite so active members get the code automatically.

Member management

Every Member Record in One Searchable Place

Stop pulling members out of a CRM, a PayPal export and a mailing list to find out who is current. Join It gives your team one searchable member database, with every record, level, note, payment and event on it, reportable by any field.

  • Import your existing member list from a spreadsheet
  • Custom fields for instrument, interests and giving history
  • Full payment and attendance history on every record
  • Group memberships for households and organizations

Dues and Payments

Collect Renewals Without a Volunteer Chasing Them

Set your member levels once and let Join It do the collecting. Members get a payment link and a receipt, the record updates itself when they renew, and you see who is current at each level without a spreadsheet. Checks can still be recorded by hand.

  • Online payments through Stripe, with automatic receipts
  • Reminders before and after the renewal date, sent for you
  • Individual, household and organization levels, each with its own price
  • Optional donation added at checkout on top of membership

Give Members a Card the Door Can Check

Every member gets a digital card in Apple or Google Wallet showing their level and live status, so the door or the lobby desk scans it with any phone and sees whether they are current. Connect Eventbrite and member pricing and early access apply at checkout.

  • Apple Wallet and Google Wallet cards with a scannable QR code
  • Card status updates automatically when a member renews or lapses
  • Eventbrite discount and presale codes for active members only
  • Eventbrite check-ins logged as attendance on the member record

01

Import Your Member List

Upload your existing spreadsheet using the import template, with names and emails as the minimum. Our support team helps you map the rest and load it, so nobody is retyping the member list by hand.

02

Set Up Levels and Benefits Once

Create your member levels and prices, connect Stripe and Eventbrite, and choose when reminders go out. From then on Join It bills each member on their renewal date and applies member pricing at checkout.

03

Invite Members to Their Portal

Send one welcome email. Members can then see their status, pay, add their card to Apple or Google Wallet and update their own details, without calling the office.

Common Questions

Arts Organizations Ask Us

What is membership software for performing arts organizations?

Membership software for performing arts organizations helps manage members, patrons, donors, supporters, renewals, payments, events, and communications.

Performing arts organizations often serve a mix of patrons, subscribers, donors, performers, volunteers, and members. Join It helps keep those relationships organized by connecting member records, payment history, renewals, event activity, donations, and communication groups. This gives staff a clearer way to manage ongoing relationships beyond individual performances.

Can performing arts groups manage members and patrons together?

Yes. Join It can help performing arts organizations manage members, patrons, donors, volunteers, and supporters in one database.

A patron may donate, attend events, buy memberships, volunteer, or support a season. Join It lets organizations organize those relationships using membership types, custom fields, notes, payment history, and activity records. This helps teams understand each supporter’s connection to the organization without splitting records across ticketing exports, spreadsheets, and donor lists.

Can performing arts organizations automate renewals?

Yes. Join It can support recurring billing, online renewals, and automated renewal reminders for performing arts memberships or patron programs.

Patron and membership revenue is easier to protect when renewal dates are not left to memory. Join It helps members renew online, tracks status and expiration dates, and sends reminders when action is needed. This reduces manual follow-up and helps keep supporters active across seasons.

Can performing arts members receive digital cards?

Yes. Performing arts organizations on the Total plan and above can issue digital membership cards for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

Digital cards can help members prove active status for previews, member nights, receptions, workshops, or partner benefits. Each card carries the member's details plus a QR code that staff can scan for verification or check-in. Digital membership cards and check-in tools are available on the Total plan and above.

How can performing arts groups offer member event benefits?

Performing arts organizations can connect membership status to event access, discounts, previews, or member-only programming.

Member benefits often include early access, discounted events, previews, or special invitations. Join It can support these benefits through event workflows or integrations such as Eventbrite where configured. This helps organizations reward active members and turn events into a clearer part of the membership value proposition.

Can performing arts groups communicate with patron segments?

Yes. Join It can help segment patrons, donors, members, volunteers, and event attendees for more relevant communication.

A performing arts organization may need different messages for patrons, active members, lapsed supporters, donors, workshop attendees, or volunteers. Join It can organize people by membership type, status, custom fields, and activity, then sync relevant data to email tools. This makes it easier to send the right invitation or renewal message to the right audience.
